A supervised
Lunch Program is available for all students at Selwyn PS. Grades 1 - 5 will eat in the gym and kindergarten students will eat in their classrooms. Students are supervised while eating lunch in the gym and while playing in the playground. A few reminders:
- Please send your child with a nutritious lunch in reusable containers (wherever possible).
- Please remember that Selwyn is a "nut-safe" school. Please do not send food with nuts or nut products as we have a number of students with allergies.
- For safety reasons, students are required to remain on school property when participating in the Lunchroom Program.
- If your child's lunch arrangements are going to change, please ensure that you send a note to school. We will not allow students registered in the lunch program to leave school property without a note from a parent. We will then need to call you to confirm the arrangements. If we are unable to reach you, your child will not be permitted to leave the school.
Snack Program
Our school runs a wonderful morning snack program for all of our students from kindergarten to grade 5. Healthy food is essential for students’ physical, emotional, social and intellectual development. Well-nourished students are better able to concentrate, more effectively retain and apply the things they learn and are more likely to show positive social behaviours.
Managing of Medical Conditions
It is essential you inform the school of any medical conditions that could pose a risk to your child at school. This includes but is not limited to: allergies, asthma, diabetes, and seizure disorders. Management of Emergency Medical Concerns
Sick Kids Saliva Testing Program
Our school is part of the Sick Kids saliva testing program and research project.
The Saliva Testing Program at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) offers free saliva test kits to symptomatic students and staff in select schools and outpatient environments (eg. SickKids ED) across the Toronto area.
These saliva tests test for six respiratory infections: influenza, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) ,COVID-19, pertussis (whooping cough), mycoplasma pneumoniae (walking pneumonia), and Chlamydophila pneumoniae
