Bataan Elementary is excited to share updates to our master schedule, including changes to student lunch times, morning drop-off procedures, and recess routines. These adjustments aim to enhance the school day structure and improve the overall experience for our students.
New Lunch Schedule
To streamline lunch periods and meet the needs of each grade level, the following lunch times will now be in effect:
• Kindergarten and First Grade: 11:45 am – 12:15 pm
• Second and Third Grade: 11:15 am – 11:45 am
• Fourth and Fifth Grade: 12:15 pm – 12:45 pm
Morning Drop-Off and Start Time
Parents may now drop off students as early as 7:30 am. Upon arrival, students will be supervised until 7:45 am, when they will be allowed to go directly to their classrooms. Please note that the official start of the school day remains at 8:05 am when the first bell rings.
Recess Updates
Students will continue to enjoy recess during the school day. However, recess will now be facilitated by their assigned teachers rather than taking place first thing in the morning. This adjustment aligns recess times with classroom schedules, helping students transition more smoothly into the learning day.
We appreciate the support of our parents and guardians as we implement these changes. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please contact the Bataan Elementary front office at (575) 544-0900.
Thank you for partnering with us to create the best possible learning environment for our students!
