Do I need to bring a snack to school each day?

Yes, there will be a working snack each morning. 

There are students in our classroom with a severe allergy to 
peanuts and/or nuts, egg products, and watermelon. Exposure to 
these products can result in a life threatening reaction. Strict 
avoidance is the only way to prevent a severe allergic reaction.  
A reaction may be brought on by the touch and smell of these 
products as well as consuming them.

We must do all we can to provide our students with a safe 
learning environment. In an effort to allow all students to 
participate fully in classroom activities, we ask that you DO NOT 
SEND IN ANY FOODS FOR YOUR CHILD’S SNACK OR CLASSROOM PARTIES 
THAT CONTAIN PEANUTS, NUTS, PEANUT/NUT OIL, EGG PRODUCTS, OR 
WATERMELON.  

Please purchase foods with labels that can be checked for 
ingredient safety. Peanuts and peanut oil can be found in many 
foods, including baked goods and most chocolate candies. Foods 
with peanuts, walnuts, almonds, pecans, etc., peanut/nut oils, 
egg products, or watermelon will not be allowed in our classroom.
Below is a list of some suggested snacks that do not contain 
peanuts/nuts.

Cereal (Cheerios, Fruit Loops, Chex)          Pretzels
Cheese-its                                    Pringles
Dum Dum Pops                                  Rice Crispy Treats
Fritos                                        Saltines

Graham Crackers                               
TeddyGrahams(all, but chocolate chip)
Hershey Plain Chocolate Bar or Kisses         Twizzlers
Kellogg’s Nutra Grain Bars                    Vegetables*
Lays Potato Chips                             Wheat Thins
Nabisco Oreos (Plain)                         
Yogurt without toppings

* highly recommended

Because lunch is eaten in the cafeteria, your child may bring 
peanut butter, peanut/nut products, egg products, or watermelon 
for lunch.  There is a designated peanut/nut free, egg free, and 
watermelon free table where any classmate without these foods may 
sit.  If your child sits at this table with a peanut/nut product, 
egg product, or watermelon, he or she will be asked to sit at 
another table. This plan will help maintain safety in the 
classroom, while non-allergic classmates enjoy peanut/nut 
products, egg products, and watermelon in a controlled 
environment.

We appreciate your support in this matter.  If you have any 
questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Will I have homework every night?

Homework will be assigned daily. Homework should take 
approximately 30 - 40 minutes to complete. Each student will 
write the assignments in his or her agenda. Parents are asked to 
sign the agenda daily.

Are there any special projects or assignments in third grade?

In third grade there will be a few special projects in Science 
and Social Studies throughout the year. Parents will be notified 
in advance of the project. Third graders will also be responsible 
for completing assigned bookreports throughout the year.
