We are a PEANUT-FREE School
Nutritional Requirements
Healthy Eating is learned and we want to teach it! Please ensure your child has a Happy Plate for all meals eaten while at school. We follow the USDA recommendations for My Plate and for milk consumption. Please review these resources for guidance on what to send your child for meals and snacks. If your child is unable to follow the USDA recommendations, please ensure a Dietary Order - signed by their pediatrician - is on file with the nurse.
My Plate
The busy schedule of families can make it hard to make healthy choices for meals and snacks. Learning how to make healthy food choices should begin in our young toddlers.There are many ways you can teach and support your children in eating healthily. They include: Start with breakfast, Make mealtimes a priority, Get kids involved, Limit sugar, Be smart about fat, Make fruits and veggies more appealing.
At APPARO Academy, we educate our students on nutrition and making good nutritional choices. To assist you in getting your child involved in making good nutritional choices, please watch your child's lunchbox for a card that looks like this green MyPlate. If any of the good food choices have been missed, your teacher will indicate it on this card and you can use that to help guide the choices you and your child make.
