Snack Time
In Kindergarten, each student brings THEIR OWN, healthy snack each day. Students are not allowed to share snacks. Please send a DRY SNACK (please do not send wet snacks, like yogurts, fruit cups, etc. - they spill and then we have a sticky mess) with your child each day. NO BEVERAGES- Please do not send in a beverage since water is available.
No water bottles in the classroom
Please do not send a water bottle with your child for classroom use (lunch is fine) as we have found that kindergarteners frequently have spills that ruin their library books and/or other materials. Children have multiple opportunities to get drinks throughout the day.
Breakfast&Lunch
Both breakfast and lunch are served at school. Please pre-pay in the cafeteria or set up an account online (www.myschoolbucks.com). You are welcome to come and eat with your child beginning the third week of school. PLEASE work at home on opening containers and packaged food, or put food into a child friendly container. Encourage your child to try first and then ask for help.
Our lunch time is 12:55-1:25.
How to dress
Remember that kindergarten is a time for working with and exploring new materials. Your child may get dirty. PLEASE CONSULT THE MCKINNEY DRESS CODE (no spaghetti straps are allowed). Tennis shoes are best because we have recess every day. Tennis shoes MUST be worn on P.E. days. We request the girls wear shorts under their dresses/skirts as we sit on the floor daily.
