On occasion, parents will ask for special permission for their child
to have his/her lunch heated before lunch. Due to safety concerns and the risk
of burns, we are unable to honor these requests. If your child must have a hot
lunch, please arrange to purchase that lunch from our cafeteria. A lunch from
home, such as a sandwich or salad that can be eaten at room temperature, is
another alternative.

communications, and parental involvement in mathematics, Ms. Kane will put out
a math problem every other Friday that will be collected on the following
Monday, reviewed and posted on a bulletin board. This is an optional activity
and students
may participate as often as they would like. Each student that submits a
completed
problem will be rewarded with a raffle ticket for a monthly drawing that my include
a book, ice cream, no homework coupon….Please join in this math family fun!
End of the Day Pick-up Procedure (3:20 PM):

a new and improved dismissal procedure.

eye-catching to ensure maximum visibility.
They stretch for easy on and off and are available for the following
allergies: peanut, tree nut, egg, and dairy.
The cost is $11.95 for a package of 3.
