Wow, words don't even begin to describe how I feel about this.
The lack of adequate lunchetime I find appalling (especially about that poor kid who is always last!) DD is a strong daydreamer and slow eater; she eats very little of her lunch. I know the schools have to get everyone through the cafeteria, but it shouldn't be difficult to change the policy so that there's a little more time. (I see on our school menus that they have a new "grab-and-go" lunch once a week, so kids can just grab a premade sack lunch and head straight to the cashier.)
Some minor advice: would the school be open to some sort of recess-time enrichment? Our PTA has a KIKS (Kids Into Keeping Strong) program for the kindergarten classes, who otherwise don't get PE. I think they used to do something for the older kids before we had a PE teacher. Some parent volunteers organizing a game during recess could help get more kids doing something.
