20. LICE CHECKS<br />
There have been a few cases of lice in our school; we ask that parents continue to check<br />
their child’s head for lice. If you discover lice, please call the school that we can check<br />
the other children in the class. Parents should be checking their child’s hair at least<br />
once a week or more often if their child has had a case of lice.<br />
21. GOOD FOOD CHOICES<br />
The Greater Gatineau <strong>School</strong> staff has been encouraging students to bring nutritious<br />
snacks and lunches. We want our students eating healthy food throughout the day. We<br />
encourage you to send snacks in reusable containers and to avoid heavily packaged<br />
prepared items. All staff members will monitor snacks and lunches daily. Let’s make<br />
this a community effort.<br />
Some suggestions for snacks:<br />
Fruits<br />
Vegetables<br />
Cheese and other dairy products<br />
Crackers<br />
100% fruit juices and snacks<br />
Granola Bars (no chocolate coating)<br />
Foods to stay away from:<br />
Puddings<br />
Chocolate<br />
Candy<br />
Chips<br />
Cookies<br />
Processed fruit snacks and juices<br />
Soft drinks<br />
Chocolate coated granola bars<br />
18. BIRTHDAYS & OTHER CELEBRATIONS<br />
We ask that parents please do not bring birthday or any other type of celebratory cakes<br />
or cupcakes to school. If you would like to bring something in we ask that it be a<br />
healthy option such as: banana bread, muffins (nothing with icing), fruits or<br />
vegetables, cheese and crackers, rice krispie squares.<br />
19. PEANUT FREE & SHELLFISH FREE SCHOOL<br />
We have a few students in our school who have a severe allergy to all nuts, peanuts and<br />
their derivatives. As well, we have a couple of cases of shellfish allergies (shrimp, crab<br />
and lobster) in our school. So we are asking parents/guardians to help keep our school<br />
peanut free and shellfish free.<br />
