The lunchroom can be a tricky place for some students. It's busy, noisy, full of people, and there are lots of social expectations to remember!
Sometimes students need more than a reminder to make good choices. They need opportunities to look at different situations, think about what's expected, and practice recognizing appropriate behavior.
