The recommended home supplies can be used for homework, special projects, or if instruction is changed from in person to a virtual “mode” of learning. Be thoughtful about how your family chooses and organizes the space your child will be using to do school-related work and activities. Each teacher has a “Wish List” that includes items needed in the classroom.
Lunch
Children have the option to bring or buy lunch. Your child needs a lunchbox if he/she is bringing lunch. Please be sure to label your child’s lunchbox with his/her name. Information on buying lunch can be found on the Dallas School District website: www.dsdhs.com <<Cafeteria
Prior to the first day of school, please have your child practice eating “school lunch.” Make sure your child can open everything you send with them. It’s important for children to know not to eat off of the table in the cafeteria. Lunch is 30 minutes - set a timer and talk about how they may not finish eating everything. Practice packing everything back up and talk about what is trash and what should come back home in their lunchbox. Kindergarten lunch is a big adjustment and we are extremely appreciative if you have prepared your child for the experience!
*Please be sure your child has a spoon, straw, or napkin if needed for snack or lunch.
Snack
We will have a daily snack time in Kindergarten. Please pack one healthy snack everyday for your child to eat during this time. This will help keep your child’s brain and bodies working at their best! Our snack time should take no more than 15 minutes and will be eaten in the classroom, so please keep that in mind when planning your snacks. Also, foods requiring minimal clean up are best! Do NOT send anything with peanuts or peanut butter due to allergies. Students will use their water bottles at this time - please make sure it’s filled with only water. Please keep snack separate from your child’s lunch.
Some snack ideas that students seem to enjoy include: crackers, pretzels, dried cereal, string cheese, raisins, fruit, baby carrot sticks. It is appreciated if you would avoid sending in candy, cakes, pudding, fruit cups in juice, Lunchables, soda, greasy chips, and finger-coloring foods. Thank you in advance for your support and cooperation.
