Lunch times

[sallywalker]

I am obviously not adjusting well to my kid starting school.

Her lunch time is at 10:30! WTF! She will be starving by the time she gets out of school.

My lunch time is 10:30am. I start work at 5:45am. I am starving again by 4pm.

DD ate around 1030 or 1045 in K, and they had post-recess snack and end-of-day (around 1pm) snack. They weren't substantial, but seemed to tide her over.

She won't get a snack? Mine has lunch at 10:30 and then.a snack at 12

They don't show a snack on the schedule.

We have pre-k parent night soon and I am going to ask.

My guess is there's a snack.

Regardless, my SIL with 3 kids (11, 10, and 7) still says they come home ravenous. One time between the 3 of them they ate 8 peanut butter sandwiches :-|

So I'd have stuff prepped at home or for the car ride. As it is, I have to do this w the boys -- they eat at 12 (after a morning snack) and have afternoon snack, but the afternoon snack is at 3 and I pick them up at 5:30. After a day of galavanting and learning they are hangry at 5:30!!!

I'm guessing she has a snack during the day. Ours weren't on the schedule either.

Check to see if there is a snack time or if you are allowed to send a snack for a recess. DD had an early lunch for K, and we were allowed to send a snack in for her afternoon recess time.

What time is she done with school?

Last year my first grader's lunch time was 1:15. I usually just packed a sizable snack. He was fine.

I would imagine that if they have 10:30 lunch that their snack time is in the afternoon, so I would pack snacks accordingly. I would not want to face a room full of hangry kindergartners.

That was my thought. As a teacher I'd rather face a group of hostile ninjas than hangry kids

Agreed, even if there isn't an official snack break my guess is the teacher will allow them to have a snack at some point in the afternoon. One of the teacher's I subbed for did this, for whatever reason they had an early lunch and an early recess/snack  time so she allowed quiet snacking during afternoon circle time around 2.
NOBODY want's a room full of 5 yr olds with the HANGRYS

What time does school get out?

They start at 8:15 or 8:20 (can't remember) and get out at 3:15 or 3:45.

This is pretty standard here for kindergarteners. My son started school at 7:40 and ended at 1:40. His lunch was at 10:30 as well. No snack He was pretty hungry by the time we got home, but was fine. The preschoolers also had lunch at 10:30. Not sure if they had a snack built in.
