💙 Important Update for 2nd Semester 💙
As we move into the new semester, a few changes are being made to help keep our building clean, safe, and running smoothly for everyone.
🚫 Beginning 2nd Semester, outside food and drinks — including items like Starbucks and energy drinks — will no longer be allowed inside the building.
🍎 Students should plan to bring their lunch with them each morning, as food deliveries (DoorDash, UberEats, etc.) will not be accepted.
🎉 This does not include planned classroom snacks or treats for events and birthdays — those are still welcome when coordinated with your child’s teacher!
We truly appreciate your understanding and support as we work together to maintain a positive and healthy environment for all our students. 💫
