Snack Once on campus, please help us out with snack! It is very confusing for the child to know what is his/her snack or lunch. Please put the snack inside a Ziploc bag and write their name on the Ziploc bag. Please put their snack inside their book bag (this will help us tremendously). As much as we love our students' to have choices, please select one snack that your child enjoys the most! MDPS and DDCES follows a strict peanut allergy policy, please do not pack anything containing peanuts. It's a great 15 minute break for the students' and ourselves but we need to establish a set classroom routine. Birthday Celebration Peanut Allergy Policy In order to ensure the safety of students with peanut allergies, please notify homeroom teacher 72 hours in advance when cupcakes, donuts, or cookies are brought to school to celebrate your child’s birthday. This will give the teacher sufficient time to notify parents of students with peanut allergy or any other allergy to provide a snack for their child on that day. We are a peanut free school! Notifying the teacher 72 hours in advance will also help the teacher and the parent know what time the celebration will take place.
