For those students bringing home lunch; Please spend some time this weekend helping your student practice independent lunch preparation.  For example; 
How to open containers and packages (i.e. opening pudding cups, putting straws in juice boxes, etc.)
How to properly and safely use a microwave (i.e. paper towel under food, how long to cook it, how to remove the hot food, what NOT to put in a microwave, etc.) 
How to prepare microwaveable meals. A common problem that occurs is children neglect to add water to microwaveable meals, like easy mac.  This results in burnt lunch, a stinky school, and a very sad child.
What to keep and what to throw away (i.e. keep tupperware, please throw away opened juice box even if not finished, etc.)

**Please remind your student, that for health reasons, students are NOT to share their food or take food from other students.  Thank you.
