Wilmington Manor Elementary School

The Colonial School District has a policy regarding the distribution of food served to students during regular school hours.    As such, all food must be prepared under the supervision of school nutrition service staff members, all food must be prepared within or upon school premises, and all food must be prepared using nutritution service utensils and equipment.  In sum, these requirements prohibit families from bringing food from home to serve to students during the school day.  For example, bringing food or snacks to serve to children other than your own child is not permitted.

In addition, if your child has any dietary restrictions, please contact Mrs. Downward, our school nurse, to inform her about your child’s needs.  You will be asked to supply Mrs. Downward with documentation from your child’s doctor to be placed in their health file. 

Your cooperation and support of this important matter is appreciated.

Picture Day is scheduled for Thursday, September 20th.

Ordering information will be sent home in the next few weeks..
