Food Allergies Safety Reminder
Just a friendly reminder that we have “Nut Free” and “Allergy Free” designated tables in the lunch area to protect our children with food allergies. For a number of them, exposure to peanuts, tree nuts or other allergens can be potentially life threatening. This is especially important to remember when we have guests on campus during Picnic with Penguins, as these tables are still reserved. Thank you for helping us keep all of our kids safe!
Picnic with Penguins - Friday, November 30
- 11:15 - 11:45 am Transitional Kindergarten (TK/TKP)
- 12:00 - 12:40 pm 4th & 5th grades
- 12:20 - 1:00 pm 2nd & 3rd grades
- 12:40 - 1:20 pm Kindergarten & 1st grades
1. Because of the large numbers of parents visiting campus, parents are asked to sign in at the front gate rather than funnel through the office. Signing out is not required.
2. Please observe all traffic and parking regulations on and adjacent to campus. Absolutely no parking is allowed in the school parking lot as this is used for staff only.
3. Please do not take food onto the playground areas, and please dispose of all trash properly.
