! DAILY HEALTH CHECKS to be completed at home prior to arrival
All students need to pass the daily health check in order to attend school. We are asking you to be diligent with this. If your child displays any symptoms or is feeling ill, they will be required to remain at home.
Thank you for your support and cooperation with this as we aim to keep everyone safe and healthy.
Food & Allergies in our classroom:
- We have a few students in our class with SEVERE nut allergies. We are a nut-aware school, so please avoid sending in any peanut or tree nut snacks/lunch items.
- *HEALTHY & SAFETY PROTOCOLS outline the following:
– Students are strongly encouraged to avoid sharing any food or drink items
– “Leave with what you brought” will pertain to all snack and lunch items to minimize landfill waste and traffic at trash, recycling and compost stations. All uneaten items, wrappers and containers (incl juice boxes) will be sent home at the end of each day.
Extra Clothing & Inside Shoes:
- Please ensure your child keeps a pair of extra clothes (including socks and underwear) and a pair of inside shoes at school at all times.
Outdoor Learning and Westcoast Recess:
- At Brentwood Park, we believe it is essential that children get outside throughout the day to breathe fresh air and get their bodies moving! We will be spending a lot of time outside this year learning and playing
- Living in Vancouver, we get a ton of rainfall- please ensure your child is dressed for the weather (raincoat, umbrella, rain boots) so they are comfortable, dry and can enjoy their time outside with their friends
Healthy snacks, lunches, and water bottles:
- We encourage students to bring in healthy snacks and lunch items that will provide energy throughout the day. This helps students to focus and maintain creativity and critical thinking skills. To read more about sugar and healthy snack options for your child from Dieticians of Canada > click here
- Staying hydrated also helps to keep students focused- please ensure your child has a clean water bottle with them everyday.
Thank you for your help and continued support!
