- New families – please introduce yourselves at the office when you first arrive at the school. 🙂
Please remember to pack healthy snacks, water bottles and a healthy lunch (for those with us all day)
- Always avoid sugary drinks & processed foods as they will not give you the proper nutrition or energy you need for your day!
- Don’t forget your cutlery if you are bringing food that needs a spoon or fork.
- Avoid bringing nuts at the school as some students have severe nut allergies.
- We have a filtered water fountain and water-bottle filling station in the lobby so you don’t need to bring all the water needed for the day…just a small bottle will be fine. 🙂
- We have a very small fridge available, so it is best to pack a lunch that doesn’t need to be cooled, or use insulated lunch bags.
