Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Depending on your school's policies, I would keep snacks in my desk in the event that this occurs. You don't want the student to rely on you going forward, but you also don't want your student to have to skip lunch. A student can't sit in the classroom all day without having eaten. I would, however, reach out to the parent/guardian via phone call or app system (ex. Remind) to let them know what happened. If it becomes a recurring issue, I would speak with the guidance counselor.
