Reminder about Food in School

Due the health needs of our students, please follow the guidelines below regarding food in school:

Breakfast and Lunch are currently FREE for all students.
Students may NOT share snacks or lunches with others.
Please make sure your child's personal snack meets the individual classroom guidelines (i.e. nut-free classroom). If you are unsure, please reach out to your child's teacher. Snacks should be HEALTHY choices whenever possible. All classrooms have snack time daily.
Clean water bottles should be brought daily. We have bottle filling stations available.
Edible birthday treats brought from home are not permitted. We do offer birthday ice cream tickets that can be purchased in advance of a child's birthday. The ice cream we serve is pre-packaged and nut free.
Any items sent in for classroom celebrations/parties must be pre-approved by the classroom teacher to ensure it meets the allergy/medical needs of the students.
