PS I Love You Day
P.S. I Love You was started by a family who lost a loved one. They started this initiative so that we can all remember the importance of being kind, accepting, and more loving to one another. Beginning Thursday at lunch students are able to fill out P.S. I Love You purple hearts, which will be posted throughout the school. We want everyone to see positive messages that make them feel special, accepted, and loved on the purple hearts around our school! Additionally, students may wear purple on February 14th for P.S. I Love You Day.

Wellness Policy
Pinecrest Sloan Canyon is part of National School Lunch Program. In order to continue this and get federal funding, we need to make sure the entire school is following the Wellness Policy and following the Approved Snack List. Please note that are only certain days throughout the year that classrooms are scheduled to have parties, including celebrating birthdays. Please remember that large quantities of food may not be delivered to your child in the lunch room to be shared with other students because we are under the NSLP and due to allergies. If you happen to bring something like this, we will allow your child to come get a portion for themselves at lunch and the remainder will have to be picked up at the end of the day. Thank you for your understanding. Please make sure that you are checking Infinite Campus for any lunch balances due. Lunches are to be PREPAID, so please pay any balance and or add funds to the account. Alternative lunches will be given to students who have too high of a lunch balance. They will still be charged but will not have the menu item of the day.
