Meals & Snacks

The school makes every effort to work with the parents to ensure the nutritional needs of individual children are supported. Children are encouraged to try a variety of fruits, vegetables and low sugar carbohydrates. The children often help to prepare the snacks as an integral part of our curriculum.

• Children may bring and eat breakfast and will be supervised 7:30 and 8:30.
• Healthy snacks and drinks are provided mid-morning and mid-afternoon.
• We offer milk at least once per day and substitute rice or soy milk for children with milk allergies.
• Food Allergies & Special dietary needs and practices are accommodated where possible. St. Stephens is totally NUT FREE school – Foods containing nuts or nut products may not be brought or consumed on the premises. Peanut Butter & Jelly, Granola, Breakfast Bars or Dunkin Donut products are included in this NUT FREE policy.

Each day children should bring a packed lunch, which will be eaten between 11:30 AM & 12:30 PM. Please no candy in the lunchbox. We serve water at lunch because children with juice boxes often do not eat their food.
