Food

After consultation with a dietician, our suggestions are as follows:

·        Kindly send only vegetarian snacks and lunch to the school [ optional : egg]

·        Snacks can be biscuits, idli, bread sandwich, and fruits depending on the health condition and morning food intake of the child before coming to school.

·        Lunch can be Curd rice / sambar rice with lots of vegetables (all types) as a side dish for children who are accustomed to eating on their own without messing up. But for other children, the suggestion will be chapattis with lots of vegetables as a side dish. For all children, fruits can be added in the lunch menu, if not included in the snacks menu.

·        Avoid junk food and soft drinks. They cause obesity, stomach disorders, and heart problem over a period of time. We suggest you go through  The Hindu, June 22, 2003, Sunday issue, and various court cases pending in the USA due to these types of food.

·        Avoid dry, hard, soaky foods such as bread toasts etc.

·        Due to acute water shortage and water borne diseases, we suggest that parents send sufficient quantity of water with your child.

·        Please send snacks and lunch at the same time – in the morning – to avoid multiple contacts with the child during the day.

·        Do not feed children. Allow them to eat on their own.

·        Please send spoons along with the snacks and lunch. Children do not wash them properly and this leads to some lunch boxes inviting insects and ants. Some parents think that we do not take steps to prevent ants entering the bags.

·        We request parents to send snacks and lunch box in plastic baskets so that they can be washed everyday at home to maintain hygienic standards. Some of the water bottles are not washed near the cap portion. Kindly take care of these issues. Young children are susceptible to infection due to all these reasons.

Please ensure you give two different bags – Snack bag and Dress cum Books bag – both marked with permanent marker pens to identify your  child’s bag. Also see to it that the snacks bag (only Plastic basket types) is cleaned and washed as often as possible to avoid ants and insects getting into the food. The problem gets aggravated for us because the spilt food or unwashed bag spreads  ants and insects to the bags of other children. With regards to the dress bag, please ensure that the inner garments are marked with the initials of your child to ensure proper identification of their clothes.

Do Not Send

Please avoid sending chocolates, books, play materials, or costly ornaments with the children. This will cause problems for your child and the institution. This distracts the children’s attention in the class.
