A Reminder from the Nurse:
Dear Parents/Guardians:
This year, and every year, our goal is to work together to maintain a healthy environment for the overall wellbeing of our community. Due to the high number of students with food allergies, especially to peanuts, the Banneker is a peanut free school. To ensure the safety of our students, please refrain from sending peanut products to school with your children. Thank you for your cooperation. any questions email Nurse@banneker.org
Masks: Are optional! If you decide to have your child wear a mask, provide them with a clean mask that fully covers their nose and mouth. (Students must cover their nose in order for masks to be more effective.
