VALENTINE’S DAY INFORMATION!!!

Dear Parents,
Exchanging Valentine’s cards is a favorite activity for elementary students. All students may bring in valentines to exchange on Friday, February 14. PLEASE NOTE: Due to our new policy on snacking and food allergies, children are NOT allowed to bring in valentines with ANY type of candy attached to them or valentines that are packages of candy. There is no way to monitor and ensure that all candy brought in is on the safe snack list, therefore it is easier to just let the children exchange cards. IF your child brings cards with candy, we will have to send them back home. Thank you so much for helping us keep all of our children safe by following this policy.
