The program is an evidence based social emotional learning program designed to support student's school performance.

If you choose to have your child not participate, during this time your child will spend time in an alternative location.

From the Health Office:
Special Dietary Needs & Food Allergies
Welcome to another great school year at Carol Rae. I want to take a minute to address food allergies here at school. We have many students who have food allergies that range from mild symptoms to anaphylaxis. Teachers are notified which of their students have food allergies and may make certain foods restricted in their classrooms to keep the children safe.
If your child has an anaphylactic food allergy and you would like them to sit at a designated allergy table at lunch, please let me know and we can arrange that. We request that all parents discuss the importance of not sharing food from their lunchboxes or purchased lunches with other students. This could cause an accidental allergic reaction.
If your child requires menu substitutions or special accommodations due to medical dietary needs, you can fill out this form https://www.gilbertschools.net/cms/lib/AZ50000423/Centricity/Domain/74/Fillable%20UPDATED%20Special%20Dietary%20Needs%20Form%202023-2024.pdf . It must be signed by the appropriate medical physician. You can return the form to the Health Office, and I will send it in to Nutritional Services.
Thank you for helping to keep our students safe and healthy!
