Q.  What if my child has special dietary needs, or health needs/behavior issues?

A.  If your child requires a specialized diet, you would have to provide their snacks.  Unfortunately, we don't have the facilities to accommodate students with severe health needs such as G-tube feeding, diapering or suctioning, students who are wheelchair bound, or students who have severe behavioral issues.  In the future we hope to accommodate a greater variety of students.
