School Policies

Lunch and Food Policies

Lunches are brought from home and must be either Parve or Milchig. No meat meals may be sent to school. ADDITIONALLY, CHILDREN MAY NOT SHARE THEIR LUNCHES OR SNACKS WITH OTHERS.

Because of safety issues, the urn in the Faculty Room is not available for student use. Therefore, children should not bring soups or other mixes which require hot water. The vending machines are also not for student purchases, either during, before, or after school hours. Also, due to safety precautions, drinks (or any foods) in glass containers should not be brought to school.

Please Note:
Any food brought to school for a Siyum, party, or for any other class-wide or school-wide distribution must be brought in a sealed package with an acceptable Hechsher. Opened receptacles of any nature are not permitted. The "OU", "OK", "Star K", and Rabbinical Council of Greater Washington supervisions are among those usable in school. We do not use "Triangle K" in school. All foods must be checked by the Headmaster before being taken to classrooms.

In order to be respectful of and show consideration for many of our students who require Cholov Yisrael supervision for milk products, for classwide distribution, items that have Cholov Yisrael Hashgachah or which are Parve must be purchased.
