Student Handbook > Food Program > Food Program
Breakfast is provided for students from 8:00 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. A student may choose to bring his/her lunch to school or eat the lunch provided by The New School Food Program. Students bringing their own lunches need to keep the lunches in their lunch boxes until lunch time. Lunches brought to school must include items from each of the basic food groups: protein, fruit or vegetable, and bread. Milk is provided by the school. Students may not bring fast food and/or carbonated drinks to school. If students go out for lunch with parents, they may not bring these items back to school. Please do not send lunches that require heating or microwave preparation. It is difficult to supervise the lunch period when several students try to use the microwave.
On special occasions, parents are welcome to bring treats for the whole class. When parents are bringing treats for the class, we want to encourage them to bring healthy, nutritious snacks rather than high-calorie sweets. Teachers should be notified ahead of time when snacks or food will be brought for the class.
We request that treats brought to school for holidays, birthdays, etc. be planned for classroom time. Due to our new food program, these items may not be eaten in the cafeteria.
