Dear Parents,
Please do not forget to ensure that your student brings a snack and has a water bottle every day! Our students have had a whole summer of eating snacks whenever they choose. Shifting back into a more structured setting makes for hungry appetites! We prefer healthy, filling snacks so our students can get the nutrition they require while they learn and grow through the afternoon. Please be sure to send all necessary utensils needed to eat the snack, for example if they are bringing pudding or yogurt, students will need their own spoon.
Food Allergy Guidelines
Ask your teacher about students with allergies in your child’s classroom or program before bringing in snacks for the entire classroom or group.
Check ingredient statements and nutrition labels on food products to ensure the products are free of offending allergens.
Snacks containing peanuts, nuts, or seeds are not recommended.
