YOUR INFORMATION
LUNCH VOLUNTEER DETAILS
Please know that we truly NEED your help with school lunch. Please sign up only if you can really commit to the schedule and responsibilities. If not, don't worry; there will be plenty of other opportunities for you.

We divide the parent volunteers into "cohorts" of ten parents. Each parent will be assigned to specific dates to serve lunch once every four or five weeks. If a parent cannot serve lunch on the assigned date, then he or she will contact another parent in his or her cohort. It will be the responsibility of the cohort to make sure that all their cohort dates are covered. Each cohort will be formed based on the day of the week that members can work. For example, there will be a cohort of ten people who can all work on Monday.

  1. Each shift will be one hour, from 11:40-12:45. You will be responsible for serving at both lunches. If you cannot do a whole hour, please don't sign up. WE NEED YOU TO BE ON TIME. If you are late, often times the “busy” time of the shift is over. If you have a long drive or if your schedule is tight, I don’t recommend volunteering for school lunch.

  2. We will have only 2 volunteers on each day so covering the shift is essential.

  3. Each person will have one shift every five weeks.

  4. This approach is not able to accommodate special schedules and needs. We'll need to know that you can volunteer on a particular day every four weeks. Again, if you cannot commit to that or feel that you will need to request frequent subs, then please don't worry about it and know that there will be plenty of other opportunities to volunteer.

  5. We will assign people on a first come, first served basis. If you sign up and all the slots are filled, we will happily put you on a substitute schedule for particular days. If you have been a lunch parent for many years, we may put you on the "sub" list so that other parents may have the opportunity to join the merry band of lunch parents.

Our trusty lunch coordinator, Jessica Samuel, is ready and willing to do the awesome task of scheduling everyone. Just indicate the day(s) you wish to work below, and she'll organize the rest.
