STOVE, OVEN, & MICROWAVES

Students are not to use the stove or oven to heat their individual lunches. The stove and oven are to be used for class project, special functions, or by the teachers.

Microwaves are available to heat student lunches. However, all food and drink to be heated must be microwave ready (in containers ready for the microwave). The containers should also be easy enough for the children to handle.

VISITS TO SCHOOL

Parents are encouraged to visit school. Please let the teachers know ahead of time in case special plans are being made for that day. Parents are also welcome to attend and discuss problems with the School Board at their regular meetings. The regular trustees' meetings are the first Wednesday of every month.

Child visitors are welcome for one-day visits to school with teacher approval.
