Parents-

I want to send a reminder out to all of our wonderful parents that like to provide treats for our students since October 31st is coming soon. Unfortunately the State of Texas has really limited what we are allowed to give students during the instructional day due to their nutritional laws. The law summary can be found on the HISD portal if you did not get one during the first PTA meeting.

Treats are fine IF they follow the guidelines for healthy and nutritionally acceptable. That pretty much knocks out all of the kids facorite things.

I know some of you will have great ideas on ways to work with this new law. My suggestions, but I'm not good at this: making apples look like cute pumpkins, decorating healthy snacks to be cute or scary snacks, etc...

If you have any questions about what treat would be allowed please feel free to contact the school and we will find the answer for you.

Thanks,
Mr. C
