Hello,
As we head into spring and the weather starts getting nicer, please remember a few general things:
Lunches – FROM THE WEBSITE:
Please provide a nutritional lunch including juice or milk. Soda, caffeinated beverages, and candy are not permitted. Fast food is not to be brought to the school as a lunch substitute.
We encourage all students at our school to help reduce waste by bringing lunch in reusable containers. Please help us learn to keep our environment clean and healthy. Student lunches cannot be refrigerated at school, so please include an ice pack if the lunch is perishable. There are microwave ovens available for warming, but food should be already cooked and require less than two minutes heat time. In the case of a forgotten lunch, students will be allowed to call parents twice. After that, in interest of encouraging responsibility and independence, natural consequences will apply.
CLASSROOM RULES: please do not send your child with popcorn or red drinks/water additives like red KoolAide. These make an enormous mess and stain our carpet. Please make sure your child is being sent with some sort of protein in addition to carbohydrates and sugar. A lack of protein at lunch often leads to the student crashing before the end of school which leads to behavioral issues and melt downs.
