If your child forgets his/her lunch, we will provide them with a lunch but parents must reimburse the school. Please do not come eat with your child until September 21st.
Snack
Please send a snack with your child each day. In order to help your child avoid confusing lunch and snack items, please place snack in the small front zipper pocket of your child's backpack (instead of in his/her lunchbox with lunch items).
Please NO liquid in water bottles other than water!
