Safe and Healthy Eating

Safe and Healthy Eating

Please encourage your student/child/ or children to be seated upright when eating and not to be distracted.  Encourage them to eat slowly, take small bites, and fully chew and swallow their food before talking or laughing.  If you pack a lunch and send it with your child, please avoid food items that could be difficult to chew or which could possibly cause choking.  Encourage them not to eat while walking, running, or engaging in other activities.  Encourage them to avoid children’s games that involve catching a food item in the mouth or putting large amounts of food into the mouth.  Eating in the cafeteria should be fun and social, but eating in the cafeteria is a privilege.  For those who misbehave or fail to follow these directions, cafeteria privileges may be revoked.
