Help us enforce the expectations surrounding beverages brought to school--ALL cups brought to school must have a SEALABLE, NO-SPILL TOP. Please DO NOT send your child to school with a carryout beverage from local restaurant/convenience store/coffee shop!
Per the student code of conduct:
NO caffeinated beverages (including coffee drinks, energy drinks, lotus, sodas, etc)
NO glass bottles
ALL cups/water bottles require a sealable/no-spill straw or top
Thanks for helping us set your children up for a successful learning environment! Please contact the school admin team at 502-732-7085 with questions or concerns.
