As many of you have already received, the Northampton Area School
District recently made changes to the allowable foods that are
typically delivered to classrooms for parties and snacks. The District
provided a thorough list of items that are permissible to be delivered
to the school by parents/relatives, or sent with the students. We
hope that it is understood that the purpose behind these changes are
due to an increase in students with severe food allergies attending
our schools, alignment with recent changes in the healthy foods
initiatives...and is not meant to be "restrictive" towards individual
children.
Please note two important factors regarding these recent changes.
1. This procedure applies to classroom snacks and parties, and NOT to
packed student lunches.
2. This procedure takes effect immediately, however if you need to
discuss specific issues...please contact the Mr. Dimmick
We thank you for your understanding and cooperation, and we hope that
these changes can be completed seamlessly. Remember, this change is
not meant to restrict children...it is to ensure the survival of
children!
