SCS Healthy Food Policy

SCS Healthy Food Policy

Parents, just a reminder that students are provided with a free breakfast each morning. Items such as Starbucks, Dunkin, McDonald’s etc are not allowed. We are seeing more of this with our car riders in the mornings. Please make sure if you are providing this breakfast for your child, that they finish eating it before they enter the building.

Also, just a reminder that water bottles can ONLY contain water. Please make sure that your child does NOT bring Gatorade, juice, soda, tea, etc in their water bottles. Thanks so much for your help with this! It is greatly appreciated.
