SMART Lunch FAQ’s

  • What is SMART Lunch?

    Posted by:

    Students Maximizing Achievement with Resources and Time: a restructuring of the daily bell schedule where students can study, complete makeup work, receive tutoring help and explore additional academic interests. Its purpose is to provide opportunities for students to enrich their learning experiences and/or receive additional academic help and support during the school day! Students will also be able to participate in clubs and an intramural program without having to worry about their interests conflicting with after-school responsibilities or the lack of transportation.

  • Not everyone will fit in the cafeteria, where can I eat my lunch?

    Posted by:

    Students will be allowed to eat lunch in the following locations: teacher’s classrooms with permission, outside eating areas, and lobbies of the 2000 building. The most important part of determining where students will be allowed to eat is the continued cleanliness of our campus. It will be students’ responsibilities to leave their eating areas clean! We will also have a mobile lunch line in the 1st floor lobby of the 2000 building where students will be able to purchase their lunch.

  • Do I have to stay in one place for the entire hour?

    Posted by:

    NO! You may move around campus and participate in tutoring or other activities as you see fit. You may not go onto the athletic fields, the teacher or senior parking lots, or off-campus if you do not have an off-campus pass. If you are in the buildings, you must be in either the hallway lobbies or in a teacher’s classroom. The basic rule of thumb is if an adult is not visible, you should probably not be there.
