Because Grade 1 boys have a later lunch schedule (12:20 p.m.), a light snack should be brought to be eaten at milk time approximately 10:15 a.m.

If your son is taking the school lunch program for the whole school year, he will receive his lunch tickets for the week from his homeroom teacher. If your son takes the lunch occasionally, he should bring lunch money (¥700) and purchase a lunch ticket at the Main Office or the book shop.
