Classroom Routines and Reminders

Just a few things to remember as we start a new school year.

Snacks:
Our classroom has snack every morning at approximately 10:30am.  We encourage you all to send a small, healthy snack that your child can easily and quickly eat before going outside for recess.  Please do not send anything that needs to be microwaved or prepared (such as lunchables/snackables) for snack as there is not enough time to prepare/build and eat. There is a nutrition/snack program within the school that also provides snacks but this is not a guarantee each day and should not be relied on as the only snack option.

Lunch:
As you choose snacks and lunches to send to school please try to send healthy options for food and drinks.  We also ask that you please attach a sticky note to anything that needs to be microwaved, or have your child familiar with the time frame that will be needed.  If the snack or lunch is in a container please have your child familiar with how to open it.  There will be staff members in the lunch room to help if needed but we want to encourage as much independence as possible during this time.

Birthdays:
We do celebrate and acknowledge birthdays within the classroom as they occur but we do ask that you do not send birthday invitations to school.

Dress Code:
Please take a moment to look over the SCC dress code within the school handbook.  A quick overview of the dress code is that spaghetti straps and crop tops are not to be worn at school.  Shorts or skirts must be as long as the student's fingers while resting at their side.
