    *Starting Friday, 9/5/25, please send your child to school with a peanut free/ nut free snack for the afternoon everyday.  Please send your child with a snack that is easy to open and eat. I recommend sending your child’s snack separately inside his/her backpack, especially if your child brings a lunchbox/lunch bag when packing lunch from home.
