Lunch

 

Lunch

 

Each lunch period at Bolden is 55 minutes long, with 30 minutes for eating and 25 minutes for recess.  The first lunch period begins at 10:30 a.m.  

 

Recess 

During recess, students may use the recess equipment, playground, jump rope, or walk on the path.  For inclement weather, students will remain inside in classrooms, the library, auditorium, gym, or other designated locations for their class.  There are different kinds of games to play, as well as word searches or crossword puzzles to complete.  Paper is always available for drawing and coloring.

 

Lunch

When the weather is cooperates, Bolden students participate in “California Lunch” and eat outdoors at the picnic tables located in front of our school.  You can send a lunch with your child or be provided with a District prepared lunch. The District will send home a monthly menu (also available on the website), along with more information about the lunch program. 

 

While children are with Lunch Monitors at lunch, it is not possible to monitor what your child eats or throws away. A helpful strategy is to involve your child in the food selection process. Also, please make sure your child can open his/her lunch containers.
