Reminder: Water Bottles and Containers


Please send your child with water to drink instead of juice. Students are encouraged to keep a water bottle at school so that they always have something to drink. Please do not send juice with your child, as they frequently cause sticky messes! 

Sending lunch containers that are easy for your child to open on their own encourages independence, which is one of our main goals in Kindergarten. If you are not sure if you're child can open/close something that you would like to send, try it out at home first (i.e. those fruit cup containers are nearly impossible to open without spilling!)

Thank you!
