Family Friday Lunches:

Exciting news! Starting Friday, October 4, we will host 9 family lunches before winter break. Our top priority is the safety and enjoyment of all our students and families. Join us as we create a warm and welcoming space for everyone to savor these special moments together!

Each Friday, there will be openings for 18 students per grade level to have 1-2 visitors.
Visitors will be limited to 1-2 per student. This will allow family visitors to sit in a separate section where they can visit with their student.
Guests can register for 2 lunches before winter break.
To reserve a place, one family member will complete this form, state his/her name as well as the name of the second guest lunching with the student(s).
Please note the date of your reservation. While we try to send emails to remind you, it is not always possible.
