Primary Lunch and Snacks

Let's Eat! - Important notes on food at the Home School Academy Primary Building

* Each student will need to bring a lunch bag or lunch box.  

* Students will not be able to use the refrigerator or microwave, so pack any cold items with a cold pack and do not send food that needs to be heated.

* Send a water bottle with your student - especially for gym class; however, the students are not allowed to keep their water bottles on the table during class time as they can ruin the paperwork.  They should try to get a drink (and use the bathroom) between classes.

* Students are to eat in designated areas.  They also must help clean up their area and wash their hands when they are finished eating.

* Please talk to you kids about food allergies. Discuss how some children must be kept away from certain foods. We have a number of children with life-threatening food allergies including allergies to tree nuts, peanuts, milk, wheat, eggs, shellfish, sesame, and sunflower. Because tree nut and peanut reactions are often very severe, we have chosen to care for those children by being a NUT FREE ZONE.  Please do not send ANY food items to HSA (lunches, snacks or birthday treats) that contain ANY peanut or tree nut products. But any allergy can have a life-threatening reaction, so please remind your children about other easy steps we take to protect our friends: not sharing our food, keeping our hands to ourselves when eating, cleaning up, and washing our hands after eating. This is one area where prevention is the best medicine and we can all help out! **Some parents have asked about coconut. Coconut is technically a fruit and is allowed at HSA. 

How much food?  Lunch and Snacks

  • Pre-K, Kindergarten, and 1st grade will have snack and lunch so please send a snack for your child plus a lunch. 
    • Also, please send TWO drinks for your Pre-K and K child each week. One for snack time and one for lunch. 
  • After School CLUBS: All students in HSA Primary (Pre-K-6th grades) staying for after school clubs will need a snack and drink. Therefore, if your PreK or Kindergarten child is staying for clubs after school, he or she will need to bring 2 snacks, 1 lunch and 3 drinks to school. 
  • Grades 2 -6 will not be having snack-time during the regular school day so they will only need a lunch with beverage unless participating in after-school clubs. If they are struggling and need a snack, they are allowed to eat a quick, non-messy (non- nut) snack during their breaks between classes.  If they are in a club, you may also send a quick snack & drink for after school.
