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
Ellie Maxwell, Principal

Double lines at Dismissal
AFTER SCHOOL DISMISSAL
2:50 pm
Thank you for helping us make after school dismissal a smooth process that moves swiftly while also allowing us to keep students safe.
These descriptions will assist you in communicating with teachers, in writing, on how your child is going home at the end of each day. If you plan to walk onto the campus, your child is considered Parent Pickup and will be dismissed from the gym as stated below.
· Parent Pickup-Sit by grade level in the gym. These students will be called one by one as soon as the sidewalk in front of the gym is clear of all bus riders.
· Car Rider- Sit by grade level on the covered porch in front of the school. Staff members on duty will call students when their vehicle has pulled up to the assigned flag. Parent pickup students will not be seated with car riders.
· Right Walkers/Bikers-Students meet at the Bike Rack in front of the cafeteria. Students with bikes and scooters line up on the sidewalk. Walkers line up behind them. Students are supervised by staff to the end of the driveway and then dismissed to finish their journey independently. Please do not pull your child from this line until they reach the end of the driveway.
