Please send a HEALTHY snack to school with your child. They will eat their snack to refuel their bodies and brains during the first 5 minutes of socialization which will be nutrition time. Please do not send an overabundant amount of food as there is a minimal amount of time to eat, and they need their play time. If an unhealthy snack (i.e. soda, candy, etc.) is sent to school, we will send it back home with your child, as this type of food will hinder their ability to learn. Please ensure your child knows how to open their snack by themselves. Also, their backpacks will receive the morning sun.  Therefore, please put your child’s snack in an insulated container to prevent it from spoiling (if needed). The beginning of the year is very hot. Please make sure that your child has a labeled water bottle in their backpack. This will help us minimize long lines at the water fountain and optimize our learning time.
