Where should the students wait if the teacher is not in the classroom?

Students should take a seat on the benches outside of their classrooms 
before class, if the teacher is not present.  Since no teacher is on duty 
before school, students are not to play on the playground equipment before 
school.

Why does my child need two containers for snack and lunch?

Your child will need to have their snack in a container with their name 
clearly written with the word Snack.  Lunch needs to be a separate container 
with their name clearly written with the word Lunch. When the child comes to 
school in the morning, there will be two different boxes for students to put 
Snack and Lunch containers.
