Food Service
The monthly menu and payment information is posted on the district website. Families who choose to may send in cash/check in an envelope labeled with their child’s name and homeroom teacher.
Menus and order forms will be sent home. Families need to order in advance to ensure time to prepare and deliver meals for students. If you need to make a change to your order, parents/guardians should contact their child’s teacher or the main office at the preschool.
Breakfast After the Bell
Students will report directly to the classroom for breakfast as part of their morning routine. School breakfast offerings will be available to preschool students who choose to participate. You may also choose to have breakfast at home or send your own breakfast item with your child.
Lunch
Lunch will be delivered to preschool students who order in advance. You may also choose to pack and send lunch with your child.
Snack
Please send your child to school with a healthy snack and a refillable water bottle every day. Snacks will not be provided.
School Attire
Our goal is to support independence for your child as they move through their school day. Please send your child in clothing that is comfortable and easy for them to manage during the day (e.g., elastic waistbands, loose fitting, light jacket/sweater, simple zippers and buttons, if any). Shoes should have a secure back for safety reasons.
Please send an additional change of clothes in a labeled Ziploc bag.
Nap/Quiet Time
One hour will be set aside for nap/quiet time each day. While students are not required to nap, all students will participate in at least 30 minutes of restful quiet time as part of their day.
Please send a fitted crib sheet, a blanket, and a small, soft pillow with your child each each week for use during nap/quiet time. Label each item with your child’s name and send them in to school in a fabric bag, no plastic please. These items should be sent in on Monday and will be sent home on Friday to be washed and returned.
