Smart Snacks & Halloween Parties
The Smart Snack policy states that schools are allowed to have one party per month in which students receive only one non-approved snack and only one non-approved drink. Please pay close attention to teacher requests for party food and snacks so we can ensure that we are following these national guidelines. Thank you!
Please remember to call by 3:10 if your child's afterschool plans have changed. This will help ensure your child will have enough time to receive a 'green note' from the office, specifying how your child is getting home. They are delivered to classes at 3:15. Thank you!
