Snack
"All students get a snack break in the morning. Please inform the students what they have for morning snack, particularly the kindergarten students. Paper napkin is required for snack in Grades K-4.

Lunch and Cafeteria Regulations for
Full Day Kindergarten - Grade 8

" Two paper napkins or paper towel sheets are required. One is to be opened as a placemat the other to be used for the hands.
" No soda may be brought for lunch because we have the special milk program subsidized by the government. You will receive information on the first day of school regarding the price of milk.
" Students have assigned places in the cafeteria. These are determined by the teachers and the students.
" ONLY NUTRITIOUS lunches are recommended, NO LUNCHABLES or GOGURTS. The Lunchables are high in sodium and preservatives. The students find them difficult to open and usually get them all over themselves and their neighbors. Most of the lunch is then thrown in the trash. The Gogurts are difficult to open and the students get the contents all over themselves as well as their neighbors. It is very difficult to clean out of hair and clothing.
" If you need to bring a lunch, please place the student's name and room number on the lunch bag or box and leave it in the office. The student will pick it up on the way to lunch.
" Please do not buy lunch for anyone but your own child. There are children with food allergies and cultural food traditions so they cannot eat everything. This should not be a regular practice but a treat for a birthday or special day of celebration.
" PLEASE TEACH YOUR CHILD PROPER TABLE MANNERS. Our cafeteria is our dining room and we act in the same way we would in our dining room at home.

Thank you for your cooperation. Please come and help us in the cafeteria during the lunch period. The first lunch is at 11:40 a.m. and the second lunch is at 12:10 p.m.
