New Guidelines for Special Occasion Food
All foods brought to campus for special occasions such as birthday parties, holiday parties, any special occasion MUST have an FDA approved label with ingredients and allergens legibly listed.
The Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act of 2004 (FALCPA) has improved food labeling information for the millions of consumers who suffer from food allergies. FALCPA requires that the label of a food that contains an ingredient that is or contains protein from a "major food allergen" declare the presence of the allergen. This Act will be especially helpful to us who must learn to recognize certain allergens in foods.
FALCPA identifies eight foods or food groups as the major food allergens. They are milk, eggs, fish (e.g., bass, flounder, cod), Crustacean shellfish (e.g., crab, lobster, shrimp), tree nuts (e.g., almonds, walnuts, pecans), peanuts, wheat, and soybeans.
At present, there is no cure for food allergies.

Parent Satisfaction Survey
Boerne Independent School District is committed to engaging our parents and families in every child’s education. To continue our journey to excellence in this area, we gather data from stakeholders to determine where we are as a district and to set and act on realistic, measurable goals for continuous improvement.
The Parent Satisfaction Survey allows parents to provide feedback on their experience with their child’s school.
The survey can be accessed online at this link: BISD Parent Satisfaction Survey
The Parent Satisfaction Survey only takes a few minutes to complete and we appreciate your time.
Sincerely,
Dr. Thomas Price, Superintendent

Spinal Screening for 5th Grade Girls
www. boerneisd.net
Dear Parent/Guardian,
Cibolo Creek Elementary School will be conducting spinal screenings on November 6, 2018 for all 5th grade girls. The purpose of spinal screening is to detect the signs of abnormal curves of the spine at their earliest stages so that the need for treatment can be determined. Scoliosis, a common spinal abnormality found in adolescents, is a sideways twisting of the spine. It is usually detected in children between 10 and 14 years of age. Kyphosis, sometimes called round back, is an exaggerated rounding of the upper back and is often confused with poor posture. Many cases of curvature of the spine are mild and require only ongoing observation by a physician when they are first diagnosed. Others can worsen with time as the child grows and require active treatment such as bracing and surgery. Early treatment can prevent the development of a severe deformity that can affect a person's appearance and health.
The procedure for screening is simple. Screeners who have been specially trained will look at your child's back while he/she stands and then bends forward.
STUDENTS SHOULD WEAR SHORTS OR PANTS FOR THE EXAM. ALL STUDENTS MUST REMOVE THEIR SHIRT FOR THIS EXAM. FOR THIS REASON, WE REQUEST THAT GIRLS WEAR A HALTER TOP, TUBE TOP, SPORTS BRA, OR A 2 PIECE SWIMSUIT TOP UNDERNEATH THEIR SHIRT ON EXAM DAY.
Parents will be notified of the results of the screening only if professional follow-up is necessary. This screening procedure does not replace your child's need for regular health care and check-ups.
According to law, all girls in 5th and 7th grades and all boys in 8th grade must receive the spinal screening. If, for religious reasons, you do not wish to have your child screened, you are to submit an affidavit of religious exemption to this office no later than October 31, 2018.
Thank you for your cooperation.
