Thank you for volunteering
for Lunch Bunch. For those of you who are unsure of your role as a lunch bunch
volunteers, below is a description of your duties. The administration may
change our duties at any time; any changes will be communicated via email.
When you arrive for Lunch
Bunch duty, sign in at the office and proceed to the cafeteria. Lunch Bunch
aprons will be hanging on a hook in the cafeteria. Please wear an apron so
the students will know you are there to help. You can restock your apron
with napkins, straws & silverware as required. Please do not take any
condiments. The children are expected to get what they need while going
through the line. If they forget, they can return to the cashier for
assistance.
The children
will raise their hands if they need assistance or additional supplies (usually
napkins, silverware, help opening something in their lunch box, etc). To
develop their independence, ask the child to show you how he/she tried to open
the package first. If you open a condiment package for someone, please let that
child apply it to his/her own food.
The children will attempt to
clear and clean their own table. Please assist them so the table will be clean
for the following class.
Please visit with your child
at some time other than your volunteer shift. The lunch monitors
(teachers & other staff) are relying on us to assist ALL students. Please
circulate between the tables to make sure you can see the little ones’ hands.
If a student wishes to go
the bathroom, refer him/her to a teacher. Please do not bring siblings unless
he/she is accompanied by another adult.
AT NO TIME should a volunteer take a disciplinary role with the
students. If you feel there is a problem that needs attention, please advise one of the staff lunchroom monitors.
On Fridays, one volunteer
will sell ice cream while others assist the students. Please follow these
guidelines when selling ice cream:
A gentle reminder to any offenders should be
adequate.
After you finish your shift,
return the apron to the hook on the door and sign out in the office.
If you find that you are
unable to attend an assigned shift, please try to find a replacement from the
substitute list or by swapping with another scheduled volunteer. Obviously, some last minute emergencies come up, so
don’t panic if you can’t find a substitute. The staff in the lunchroom will
notice that you are not there and attend to the children. If you have any
further questions or concerns, please call Tina Wilkinson at 678-395-6965 or
email tinaw@wilkinsons.com.
