Snack Time: 9:30 • This is the beginning of the 4thperiod time. Students must have their snack with them when they enter class. They will eat as they begin bell work in class. • Getting a snack from the vending machine may make students late for class if they are standing in line, but will still result in a check mark for tardiness. It is best to purchase a snack first thing in the morning or bring one from home. • If students eat something that is hot like Flamin’ Cheetos, they need to already have a drink with them. They will not be allowed to leave class to get water for this knowing they are spicy item. We suggest not eating these without a drink. • No snacks with peanut products in it. We have children with severe allergies.
