Celebrations and shared food

​As we have been asked this similar question many times over the past month, we thought it would be best to communicate to everyone how we can still mark special celebrations that may involve food (i.e. your child’s birthday, a special cultural holiday, etc.). Our usual school policy states that parents may send a special treat to school, on special occasions, to share with the class during a time pre-arranged with the class teacher. To best align with our health and safety guidelines during this time with COVID, we ask that the treats are not homemade, but rather, pre-packaged items.  As some of our students have allergies to specific foods, please make sure to ask your child’s teacher what ingredients must be avoided so that all students can enjoy the treats. Thank you for understanding.
