The lunch period should be a time for pleasant socializing for the students. This can be achieved only by courteous behavior at the table. The norm to guide students is simple enough: conduct yourselves at lunch as you would at the dinner table at home or as you would in an ordinary restaurant. The lunch supervisors will insist on this very basic mark of a young adult.
All students scheduled for a certain lunch period are to be in the cafeteria during that lunch period. No one is to leave the cafeteria without a written pass issued by one of the supervisors. No permission will be given to go to the locker room. Students who are tardy to the cafeteria will receive a tardy detention.
Students should either go to a table and be seated or get into one of the lunch lines as they enter the cafeteria. In the lines there is to be no pushing, shoving, moving ahead of others, etc. The students do not have to sit in any particular section, but they must be seated (i.e. not walking around, visiting, etc.) when eating. After eating, bags, paper, cartons and leftovers are to be put in the plastic containers placed around the cafeteria. All students will be assigned periodic clean-up duty.
Dismissal from the cafeteria will be conducted in an orderly fashion by the head supervisor.

CHEMICAL ABUSE PREVENTION/INTERVENTION
Padua Franciscan High School views with grave concern the serious implications of drug, alcohol, and tobacco use by young people. Padua Franciscan High School continues to seek ways to educate students about the dangers of the misuse and abuse of drugs, alcohol, and tobacco. In the interest of student and staff health, a climate is created in the schools so that people with problems may seek and receive help. Parents and/or students who need assistance should contact their school counselor or the school’s Campus Minister who will provide information and guidance or assist in making an appropriate outside referral.
Padua takes an active approach to promoting a chemical free lifestyle though the Teen Institute Organization. For information regarding alcohol, drugs, and tobacco with respect to athletic participation, please refer to the Controlled Substance Policy section under Athletics.
