Food/Celebration Procedures

Students may only bring their lunches on the bus, and must keep their food within their lunch boxes while on the bus, preferably kept in their backpacks. Food for parties, etc. are PROHIBITED from the bus.

Students must not share food with other students or trade food items. Please remind your child often.

It is recommended that parents of students with food allergies work with the classroom teacher, nurse and classroom parent to ensure the safety of all students with food alergies.

We encourage non-food celebrations that can be discussed with your child’s teacher. However, if food is being purchased for a birthday celebration, all purchases of food must be made through the cafeteria by contacting the kitchen lead to make arrangements.  Food that is purchased will be distributed by the assistants while the students are eating lunch in the cafeteria.

Parties will be arranged by the class parent (coordinated by the PTO) in cooperation with the teacher. Any food items for class parties MUST be on the “Safe Snacks for Class Parties” list.
