Please read the statement from our district this goes for Birthday Treats and Holiday parties:

"At U-46, we encourage students to make good choices around healthy eating and physical activity to promote positive outcomes. With the holidays around the corner, U-46 will continue this practice by promoting holiday celebrations with non-food items. To stay aligned with the USDA's Smart Snacks requirements, we will not allow food-related celebrations nor distribute snacks to students to eat in the classroom during the school day. The school day concludes 30 minutes after the students are released from school."

School meals continue to be Free to ALL students this school year. Students can arrive to school this year as early as 7:40 AM to recieve a free breakfast. IF you have noticed in Infinite Campus, times for bus pick up are earlier so students can recieve a breakfast before the 7:55 School Bell. We are excited for this opportunity for all students and hope to see a great turn out!

Don't forget if you are entering Kindergarten and 6th grade you must have a physical to attend school the first day. Reach out to annefranks@u-46.org if you need help! We also recommend students bring a change of clothes to keep at school in grades PreK- 2nd because accidents happen! We don't have enough sizes for all! Please update the clothing in the cubby to be warmer for the cooler weather. As the weather is changing please refer to this website if you have any questions or concerns regarding your child's health:

When should I keep my child home?

Keep your student at home if he/she:

- has been vomiting or having diarrhea within the past 24 hours,
- complains of an earache
