“Nut Aware” Policy Adoption for Zion Lutheran School
Please see attached to the email and hard copy versions of our newsletter a copy of our school’s new “Nut Aware” policy that was recently adopted by our Board of Education and Church council for our school starting at the beginning of the second quarter. Please read the policy document carefully, as it impacts all of our classrooms to some degree. While we cannot guarantee a nut-free facility, we hope that this policy promotes practices which will help to make our facility safer for all the students that we serve now and in the future.
For the safety of ALL of our students, we ask our school students and families to abide by these guidelines. We understand that they may be somewhat inconvenient, but they allow us and our students to demonstrate Christian love and concern for those students at risk. Not having your favorite snack at school is a small inconvenience for the opportunity to develop Christian character and show love by putting another’s needs above your own. As a school family we want all of our students to have the opportunity to learn and grow in a safe environment. We appreciate everyone helping us to achieve this goal for the good of Christ’s lambs and sheep. If you have any questions concerning the policy, please speak to Mr. Schneck.
Parent Conversations
Attached to the email and hard copy newsletters is another article from Parent Conversations. This week’s focus: What Is Our Goal as Parents? Parent Conversations, from Forward in Christ magazine, offers articles on topics important to parents, written from a Christian perspective.
