CLEANING AND PREPARATION

Cafeterias will be disinfected and cleaned daily pre- and post- meal service.
Cafeterias will be e-misted at the end of each service day.
All cafeteria staff will be required to wear face coverings and gloves, and also applies to anyone that enters the kitchen area.
All staff monitoring the cafeteria during meal times will be required to wear face coverings.
Plexiglas shields have been installed at each cashier area to protect from virus transmission.
Each campus will establish a cafeteria social distancing plan with a seating diagram and schedule. Social Distancing signage has been installed as well.
All keypads (pin pads) will be removed from cashier stations.
- (For grades K-6) To eliminate frequent touching of the pin pads, each cashier will have a class roster with each student’s name and bar code to scan once the student receives their meal.
- (For grades 7-12) Student ID badges will be scanned at each cashier station. If ID badges are not available, cashiers will look up the students by name.
Due to limited space and the need for social distancing, visitors will not be allowed in the cafeteria during lunch time.
