Lunch rules are used to assign lunches to students based on the period, teacher, room, and additional periods.

3. In the blank row, select a Period.
4. Select a Teacher. One or multiple teachers can be selected. If a teacher is not selected for the rule, then a room or additional periods must be selected.
5. Select a Room. One or multiple rooms can be selected. If a room is not selected for the rule, then a teacher or additional periods must be selected.
For lunch rules, select a teacher OR a room. Selecting both creates an OR situation where the student will display the lunch on their schedule if the student has the teacher or is scheduled into the room. This can cause more than one lunch to display for the student.
