Birthday Treats
Birthdays are special occasions for young children. If your child wishes, he/she may bring treats for the class. Summer birthdays can be celebrated in May or on half-birthday. Please send enough treats for at least 24 students. If you send in a treat, please make sure they are all the same, it is cut and ready to serve (no drinks please). We do not have utensils for cutting in our classroom. Please do not send party invitations to school unless the entire class has been invited. Although it may seem convenient to distribute invitations this way, it can result in hurt feelings for those not invited.
*We are a PEANUT-FREE School
*Check with your child's teacher for food allergies
Transportation Changes
Please send a note if your child has a change of transportation in the afternoon. Students will be required to follow the transportation plan established at the beginning of the year, unless a note is sent to the teacher on the day that the transportation needs to be changed. This is for the safety of the student.

Our Lunch Time and Visitors for Lunch
Our class goes to lunch from 11:15-11:45. You may come and eat lunch with your child any day of the week (except the month of August, this is to establish lunch routine). Please send a note if you plan on eating a school lunch, so the cafeteria staff can prepare for an extra meal.
