Snack Policy
In 5th grade we give students the option to bring HEALTHY snacks to keep at their desks. This is a privilege, and certain guidelines must be followed in order for this privilege to continue:
1. Snacks must be brought in a SNACK SIZE ziplock baggie, and should not require refrigeration or heating.
2. Eating cannot interfere with learning. NO SHARING with others. Please avoid strong-smelling (garlic, onion, etc.), or noisy food that may bother others.
3. Snacks must be HEALTHY and clean. Students must be responsible about keeping desks and classroom clean. Food does not leave our classroom.
4. Students may bring a reusable water bottle or use the water fountain in the room for drinks. Sorry, no drink additives allowed.
If these guidelines are not followed, the privilege will be taken away from individuals or the class.
