Lunch Schedule:

All adults must check in through at the table near the side gate and get a visitor badge and wear visibly to enter the side gate to get onto the field. Please wait in line by the side gate until your child’s grade level is called.

  • Only adults may attend, no siblings or non-Dickson students are allowed in student areas due to liability.

  • NO ANIMALS (Service animals must be approved in advance by ADMIN)

  • Feel free to bring a special lunch and a blanket, towel, or chair to sit on to eat with your student on the field area picnic style. Cafeteria lunch is still available for students at their regular eating time.

  • Parking will be difficult, so please plan ahead so you can find an appropriate place to park (not in the drop off lane, carpool loop, or on any red or yellow curb).

  • It will be a short time to spend on campus, so make sure you are on time because students will be escorted back into their class to continue instructional time when their grade level lunch bell rings.



Thank you for your partnership and continued support, we are grateful for you!

Warm regards,
Renae McCain
