I've been asked a couple of clarifying questions that I thought might help
those responding to my situation.
1) Can I limit the number of lunch people?
Answer: No, the principal has said the students at lunch have priority as
they must have a place to go after they've finished eating. Yes, I've
argued this with him with no success. He has gone so far as to forbid
scheduling of classes during lunches because that would mean we needed to
keep out the lunch crowd in order for the classes to have reasonable
access to tables, chairs, computers, shelves, etc. (Of course, we can only
hold 60 people and typically have at least 30 from lunch, so the other 200
must be going somewhere else.)
2) Can I tell the students checking out or at computers that I have to
deal with the 8th graders before I can help them?
Answer: I can only do this when the 8th graders become problems, I can't
be proactive. Again, this is a directive from the principal that students
at lunch have priority over students from class.
