Campus Facility

Library



SIS students visit the library each week. As part of their curriculum they participate in the Accelerated Reader program known on campus as the AR Program. The goal of the Accelerated reader Program is to help students become lifelong learners who love to read.

Accelerated Reader is a motivational program for individual student reading practice. Reading materials are matched to the appropriate reading levels for the students. As the year progresses, teachers evaluate the students reading progress.

Students enjoy accumulating points and earning certificates, although the ultimate prize is to improve their reading skills.

Food at School/Lunches

Grades K-3

The school observes a short break each morning. Snacks may be brought by K-3rd graders only.

  • Snacks will be kept in students' desks, cubbies, or lockers until break time.
  • Only nutritious single-portion sized snacks are allowed. These snacks will help provide needed energy for the student and help alleviate waste.
  • Candy or other snacks with high sugar content will not be allowed.
  • Canned sodas are not allowed.

Grades 1-8

A well-balanced lunch is served daily. Students may bring lunches from home.

  • Lunches from outside vendors (e.g. McDonald's, Pizza Hut, etc.) are not allowed.
  • Students who bring lunch from home may purchase milk at school.
  • Canned sodas are not allowed.

Classroom celebrations may not include an offering of food or beverage products. The County and District food service regulations about food or snacks being served at the school are clear and IT IS NOT ALLOWED.

District Policy states: Implementing these standards successfully will help maintain children and adolescent health and ensure that they are ready to learn. In addition, this will foster a healthy school environment that will support parents and teachers as they encourage their children to establish healthy eating behaviors which should be maintained throughout their lives... "Healthy eating is an important life skill..."

In an effort to follow the Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommended by the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Health and Human Services, birthday celebration treats such as cakes, cookies, and other treats are not allowed on campus.

More information about "Helping Students Learn to Eat Healthy," an informational pamphlet published by the USDA, can be accessed through www.fns.usda.gov/tn

Chewing gum is not allowed anywhere in the school.
