Kindergarten Snack

Please send your child with a snack each day.  Here are some important snack notes:

Please send a healthy snack with your child each day.  Examples of healthy snacks could be:  fruit, vegetables, yogurt, pretzels, rice cakes, popcorn, crackers, etc.  Children should not bring candy or junk food. 

Snacks must be nut and peanut butter free!

Snack should be separate from lunch or lunch money.  It is a good idea to show your child what and where their snack is when you put it in the backpack.  Labeling it with their name is helpful too.

Please do not send in drinks.  We will use the water fountain several times each day.

School Birthday Recognition

A few minutes of class time is usually taken to recognize each student's birthday.  In order to adhere to the Health Curriculum in teaching children healthy eating habits, as well as numerous students with food allergies, we will be celebrating with treats other than sweets.  Your child's teacher will discuss how his/her class will recognize a student's birthday.  Some of the treats may include: 
A non-food treat (i.e., stickers, pencils);
Helper for the day;
Leader of a game;
Extra recess time;
Homework pass;
Taking home a class birthday bag;
Line leader with crown;
Dancing to music.

Clothing

Outdoor clothing should be labeled clearly with your child's name and should be simple enough for your child to get into easily.

Please put your child's name on lunch boxes, raincoats, and back packs.  It is your child's reassurance and our certainty.

Boots should be large enough for your child to put on without help.

A set of extra clothing labeled and placed in a plastic bag will be needed for any accidents, wet pants from playing in the snow or spilt milk, etc.  As the seasons change, please update these clothes, [i.e. shorts changed to pants in the winter.]
