A Message from Dean Hayes
Climate & Culture
Thanks to all our families for a wonderful first week of school. We appreciate seeing our scholars in uniform. We are working on keeping our shirts tucked in with all scholars. Please make sure scholars wear belts to prevent sagging pants.
Lunchroom
Please monitor the snacks that your children bring to school. Scholars are bringing a large amount of snacks during lunch. Please limit the number of snacks packed for lunch. Scholars are wasting the food brought in from home because they only want to eat snacks. In order for them to be productive throughout the day and to prevent them from being hungry, please limit the amount and kinds of snacks. Below are our lunchroom expectations.
- No hot chips(flaming hots, toki's, etc)
- No pop
- No glass containers or bottles
- No king size items
- NO PEANUTS - because of peanut allergies
- Pizza is usually every Monday
- No items that require microwaving
Please feel free to see Ms. Hayes if you have any questions or concerns regarding the lunchroom and snacks.
