Food Issues
* Your child will need to use a lunch bag or lunch box.
*
Children will not be able to use the refrigerator or microwave, so pack
any cold items with a cold pack and do not send food that needs to be
heated.
* Please
educate your children concerning food allergies, and how some children
must be kept away from certain foods like nuts and dairy products. This year, we have even more severe allergies, so the elementary building is becoming a "nut free" zone.
Please do not send any items with peanuts or nuts in them. Items that
may contain traces of nuts (from a facility that also processes nuts)
are okay, but they should not be shared. If you bring something for a
special event, please take note of whether the item contains any traces
of nuts or dairy, and let the teacher know.
How much food? Lunch and Snacks Pre-K and Kindergarten and First will have snack and lunch so please send a snack for your child plus a lunch. Also, please send TWO drinks for your Pre-K and K child each week. One for snack time and one for lunch.
After School CLUBS: All students staying for after school clubs will need a snack and drink. So, if your PreK or Kindergarten child is staying for clubs after school, guess what? He/she will need to bring 2 snacks, 1 lunch and 3 drinks to school. Feel like you’re packing for a safari?
Grades 2-6 will
not be having snack-time during the regular school day so they will
only need a lunch with beverage unless participating in after-school
clubs. If they are struggling a need a snack, they are allowed to eat a
quick, non-messy (non- nut) snack during their breaks between classes.
If they are in a club, please also send a quick snack & drink for
after school.
