Policies & Procedures

FOOD DELIVERIES!

Reminder for Parents!

The District does NOT allow the delivery of food and beverages from outside vendors or fast food establishments for a student’s breakfast or lunch meal. All meals are to be provided by either our Food Service program or prepared at home and sent with your student.

THIS YEAR, FREE BREAKFAST AND FREE LUNCH WILL BE PROVIDED DAILY.

Outside food delivery is a safety concern. We do not want to have strangers and people that we do not know coming to our buildings with delivery bags. It is also a workload issue for office personnel. Managing multiple food deliveries during lunch time becomes an additional responsibility for our office staff.

The District works hard to provide a variety of healthy, good-tasting food in its cafeterias and students are always free to bring their own lunch to school. We will continue to follow our past practice of making sure students receive lunch if they forget to bring one from home.

Families should also refrain from excessive lunch deliveries. Our office can accommodate an occasional forgotten lunch or special circumstance, but not repeated occurrences.

Thank You for your cooperation.

 

PETS!

While everyone loves their pets at home...not everyone may feel the same way at school.
 
Please refrain from bringing pets when dropping off or picking up your son or daughter at school. We have students that are afraid of animals, and in many instances, while you may know that your dog or cat is harmless with you or at home, when put in a situation with many unfamiliar people, they may act quite differently.
 
Thank you for your assistance with this, as we try to make our school a comfortable place to be for everyone that comes to Emerson!
