IMPORTANT: Changes to Recess/Lunch Volunteer Sign-Up

IMPORTANT CHANGES TO RECESS/LUNCH VOLUNTEER SIGN-UP!
The correct recess/lunch times for the 2013-2014 school year were not reflected in the previous version of the Sign-Up Genius for Recess/Lunch Volunteers, sent in prior Bear Posts. Since both the times for recess/lunch AND the grade configurations changed this year, the entire sign-up had to be edited and the previous registrations were lost.   I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience, and hope you can still volunteer for your child(‘s)/children(‘s) recess/lunch time.
