    New Health Guidelines

There have been many questions about the new health guidelines and parties.  As part of a new law passed by the State of Tennessee, schools have to make changes in their lunches, vending and snacks. 

As you have probably noticed, there are no Pepsi drinks anymore available to students.  Now the machines only vend water.  Nestle Waters in Red Boiling Springs also donated a large amount of water to us to help us introduce the new program!  Student response thus far has been overwhelming positive about the change.  While I am sure they miss the cokes and candy bars, there are lots of good choices to pick from during snack time.

At this point, students are still allowed to bring their own lunch and snack consisting of whatever you choose to send.  We are asking to please help the students by sending healthy lunches and snacks.  It has been suggested by those that are making these new laws that students not be allowed to bring their lunch or snack into school therefore having to eat at school. 

THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED AT THIS TIME-STUDENTS MAY STILL BRING
LUNCH AND SNACK TO SCHOOL.

One big change is in the cafeteria.  Now, temperatures must be checked of each item prepared and logged in a notebook for documentation for the state to check.  While this seems minor, it has caused a great amount of work leading to the addition of a new cafeteria employee. 

Another big change is in school parties.  Our local school board has exempted Macon County from the guidelines for four parties-Halloween, Christmas, Valentine’s Day and Easter.  While this decision is controversial in nature and one I am sure the state would not be happy with at all, I am very pleased that our local board recognizes the importance of still letting the kids have these school parties. 

Birthday parties however have changed.  These type of parties fall under the new health guidelines and cannot consist of cupcakes, birthday cakes, chips, cokes, etc. like they have in the past.  Now, they must include healthy choices that meet the state guidelines for snacks. 

Please come by and see me or call if you have any questions about the health guidelines. 

Also, continue to check our new website www.westsideelementaryschool.com for links to the health guidelines and all relevant information for Westside Elementary School and the Macon County School System.
