Today is Wednesday, June 15, 2022
Outdoor lunch option is not available today due to weather.
As previously shared, we remain committed to providing an outdoor lunch option as an additional mitigation effort when weather and staff coverage permit. You can find more information regarding HCPSS COVID mitigation efforts HERE.
SJLES Request for Outdoor Lunch Request
SJLES parents and guardians, please complete this form to indicate your request to have your child eat lunch outdoors for the months of January, February, and March. This request will override all previous outdoor requests. Please only complete the survey if you wish for your child to eat outdoors January-March, regardless of your previous preference in the fall. Otherwise, your child will eat indoors. Additionally, please complete one form for each child that attends SJLES.
Please note that the decision to allow for outdoor lunch is at the discretion of each school administrator, while considering the following criteria:
- Temperature and humidity
- Wind chill
- Heat index and air quality
- Age of students
- Length of time outdoors
- Adequacy of the children’s clothing
- Condition of the grounds
- Falling precipitation
- Thunder and lightning
- Sufficient staffing and supervision
If your child plans to eat outside, please encourage them to dress appropriately for the temperatures, including wearing a coat, hat and/or gloves each day. Please ensure you include a drink for your child if they bring their lunch. Parents or guardians may change their preference of eating location at any time by emailing Ms. Coleman at erin_coleman@hcpss.org.
