š Valentineās Day Party

(No school on Friday, February 13 ā Teacher Planning Day)
This celebration often includes a valentine exchange, games, crafts, and treatsāagain, all following allergy-aware guidelines.
š§ Food & Safety Guidelines
To serve all students, especially those with severe, life-threatening allergies and dietary restrictions, it's critical that everyone follows food safety rules:
- Only pre-packaged snacks are allowed (no homemade items)
- All items must follow district-approved food guidelines
- Be mindful of life-threatening allergies and dietary needs
- Always prioritize safety and inclusion when selecting food items.
Full food safety details are shared with Room Parents prior to each event.
š¤ Want to Help? Be a Classroom Parent!
