School Uniforms and Healthy Foods

Please remember to send your child to school in the correct school uniform.  This means that all shoes should be completely black or brown, with no boots or sandals.  Pants should be black or khaki with no holes in them.  It the pants have belt loops, please have both boys and girls in a brown or black belt - please no glitter belts.  Shirts should be either solid red, white or black, have a collar and be tucked in at all times.  All students should wear socks every day, in solid black, brown, red or white.  If your child has earrings, please send them in with either studs or hoops small enough that their finger cannot fit through it - this is for safety reasons.  Our new uniform violation forms will be sent home if your child is not in complete uniform.

As part of our school health initiative, we are asking that all food sent in for lunch or snack be healthy.  Examples of unhealthy foods include chips, donuts, candy, cookies or soda.  Instead, please consider foods such as pretzels, goldfish crackers, apple sauce, yogurt and water.  All unhealthy foods will be removed from the lunch table and sent home in backpacks.  In addition, our class will be provided with a healthy snack each morning.  As our snack cabinet is based on donations from families, we ask that, if possible, each family donates a snack for the whole class (17 children).  If you would like to send in a healthy snack for your child, you may do so as well.

I look forward to seeing each family at Back to School Night, this Wednesday evening!  As always, please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns.  Have a great second week of school!
