General Information

1. Students eat in their classrooms with a lunch supervisor. Please send in a labeled placemat for your child to use during the lunch period. Please note that glass containers are not permitted in the school.

2. To assist us in promoting healthy and nutritious eating habits, please do not send any “junk” food (ie. Candy, carbonated drinks, gum, etc.). Please do not send peanut butter or foods containing nuts (ie. Nutella) as there are many students with severe nut allergies.

3. Microwaves are available for the supervisors to warm-up food (max 1-2 minutes) on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. We cannot accept frozen meals.
   Please note that you are requested to send a cold lunch or a thermos on Tuesdays, Thursdays and days students have a lunch class (Computers, Conflict Resolution, and Library). Kindly label all containers and lunch boxes.

4. Please do not send toys or personal items (including electronic devices) to the lunch program or daycare unless a special activity is planned. We will not be responsible for lost or broken items.

5. Parents are requested not to send any child with a contagious illness to school/daycare and are requested to inform the front office of any contagious condition.

6. Children should be dressed appropriately for the weather as our program includes outdoor play unless the weather is severe.

7. Students registered in the lunch program must be accompanied by an authorized adult should they leave the school during the lunch hour. A written note must be sent by the parent/guardian.

8. Medication will not be dispensed to a child without written permission by the parent. Medication must be sent in with the original prescription label or it will not be administered. Parents can obtain the “authorization to administer medication form” from the school office or website. Students are not permitted to carry medication (including non-prescription items ie. Tylenol, Advil, cold medication, etc.) in their school/lunch bags or pockets. Please refer to the school handbook for more information regarding medications used in the treatment of allergies.

9. The school’s code of conduct is applied at all times. Please take a moment to review it with your child(ren). Consequences of misbehavior may include verbal reprimands, “time-out” periods, loss of privileges and in-school lunch detention/reflection period. Parents will receive a written letter describing the misbehavior as well as the measures taken, which must be signed and returned to the supervisor before they may return to the lunch/daycare service.
