Early Childhood and Lower School
Water Bottles:
Water bottles are permitted in the classrooms. Water bottles will keep students hydrated, reduce germs being spread and can increase instruction time!
Water bottle requests:
1. Please make sure your child's name is clearly written on it.
2. Please only send water bottles that can be closed tight and not spill on their desks....do the spill test at home to make sure.

5. NO flavored or fruit water allowed in the classroom.
Snack Time:
EC Students are provides with snacks in the classroom, morning and afternoon. Parents do no not need to send anything in unless there are special dietary needs.
Lower School students are permitted to bring a healthy snack to school each day to have at some point mid-morning. Many students eat breakfast early and we want their brains and bodies working at their best all morning!
Some classes have a quick afternoon snack too. Your child's teacher will notify you if this applies to you. Snack time is always optional, Morning and afternoon.
Please keep in mind:
1. Snack time is often in the classroom and just 10 short minutes.
2. Avoid sending in candy, cakes, greasy chips, finger coloring foods, anything requiring a spoon (like apple sauce or a liquid fruit cup) or refrigeration.
3. Foods requiring minimal cleanup are best.
4. Students may drink from their water bottles during snack time. Additional drinks are not allowed.
