SMSD Recess Policy
The SMSD district recess policy is that all students will go outside if the regular temp is above 15 degrees and the windchill is above 0. We will not allow students to stay indoors for recess unless they have a documented health condition and note from a healthcare provider (doctor or nurse practitioner) stating the student must stay inside for recess. A note from a parent is not adequate. Please make sure your student has proper outdoor attire: coat, hat and gloves during the winter months.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
La política del recreo del distrito SMSD es que todos los estudiantes irán afuera si la temperatura normal está por encima de 15 grados y vientos son superior a 0. No permitiremos que los estudiantes permanezcan dentro del edificio a la hora del recreo a menos de que tengan una condición de salud documentada y nota de un médico (médico, enfermera o profesional) indicando que el estudiante debe permanecer dentro a la hora del recreo. Una nota de los padres no es suficiente. Por favor, asegúrese de que su estudiante tenga una vestimenta apropiada al aire libre: abrigos, gorros y guantes durante los meses del invierno.

FOOD SERVICE….Did you know…………
Did you know what makes a school meal? Students must choose a full portion of at least three of the five components to receive a full school lunch and at least one component must be a 1/2 cup of fruit or vegetable. Components include entrée, grain, fruit, vegetable, and milk. There are unlimited (single trip) fruits and vegetables available, except for juice and potatoes. Please help by encouraging your student to take what they want, but eat what they take in order to reduce waste. Remember milk is offered, but not required to be taken.
Don’t forget – if your child receives free or reduced meals, they are eligible for one breakfast and one lunch per day as part of this benefit. All breakfast and lunch meal choices are available for all students regardless of eligibility status.
The school breakfast menus, lunch menus, and other nutrition information are available on the district’s website at http://foodservices.smsd.org.
