Dear fellow parents to students at Timber Trace,
The school has decided to remove lunches with your child effective March 26th. Many parents are disappointed with this, as there are parents who truly enjoy this benefit with their child. Some parents work in the late evening and can not see their child during the week; Some want to bring their children home cooked meals; some want to bring family to visit; and for some, this is the only way they can see and spend time with their child. We have created this petition in hopes of your support to rule towards keeping the lunches with parents open. We truly appreciate your support in this matter.

I started this because I missed my own lunch breaks with my child, but reading all of your stories makes me realize this is about so much more than just me. I am currently putting together a package of these experiences to present to the administration so they can see exactly what they are taking away from our families.

I love having lunch with my kids!! They truly enjoy that we spend little time with them even while they are at school. The joy in their eyes alway brought joy in me. Happy kids happy parents!! Please keep the lunches with kids.
Parenting is as important as school for children education. If lunchtime is a suitable time for some busy parents, this should be respected. I cannot imagine any reasonable argument to prevent parents from seeing their kids at a moment where they are not taking classes or involved in other school activities.
My kids and I love it when either I or my husband have lunch with them at school! I’m saddened and disappointed that they are taking this privilege away. I really don’t understand how this is a security concern.
My kids always ask me to have lunch with them because it makes their day better. I can’t always do that bc of work obligations but in some days it’s the only opportunity I would have other than seeing them at 8pm. Please don’t take this away.
When I was a kid there, it was amazing to have lunch with my mom sometimes. Please don’t change this. I am 27 now and still remember the feeling of having that chance to be suprised my mom to have lunch with her.
Parents abuse this privilege. Instead of it being a special occasion they come every day. School is 6 hours a day, do you really need to interfere with your child having time with their peers during those few hours?
You do not have a child at this school.

There is such a demand on our children’s time away from home/family. The more we can provide this opportunity the better for their emotional and mental health!!!! Allow parents to meet their children for school lunch 1x per week for goodness sake!!!
