A reminder regarding water bottles/ lunch boxes. The current school policy is that all water bottles in school must be disposable, and all lunches must be in disposable brown bags. Thermoses and reusable water bottles may NOT be brought in to school. This is a school-wide policy that will be in effect until further notice. I appreciate your understanding in this matter, as it is for the health and safety of all students.
