Policies at Miraloma
BIRTHDAYS
We believe that birthdays are a great time to celebrate the life of our students and their special day. School allows for a perfect opportunity to celebrate with friends and teachers. In an effort to create a space of equity, all birthdays will be celebrated during Morning Circle, once a week on Mondays, in a large group format. We ask you not to send any treats for the classroom (see guidance below).
TREATS (HALLOWEEN, VALENTINE'S DAY, ETC.)
Per SFUSD Official Wellness Policy, we do not allow any edible treats at Miraloma, including at special occasions such as Halloween, Valentine’s Day, etc. If you want to bring in a treat, think of non-edible treats like, temporary tattoos, stickers, bubbles, themed pencils, bookmarks, and erasers.
DOGS
Per SFUSD Handbook, dogs or other pets are not permitted on campus. This policy does not apply to service animals.
PLAY STRUCTURE
The play structure on the yard is off limits before and after school. Please take advantage of nearby Sandy Park and Miraloma field for your kids to play outside of school hours.
TOYS
All toys, sports equipment, electronics, and phones should be left at home. If they are needed for off campus purposes, they must remain in backpacks or with the classroom teacher while on campus.
NUT-FREE
We are a nut-free school due to the numerous students in almost each class with a nut allergy. We also have non-verbal students at Miraloma who cannot communicate when they are in anaphylactic shock until too late. For the protection of our entire community, Miraloma will be nut-free. This includes all nuts, and nut products, including peanuts (also known as groundnuts), cashews, walnuts, pecans, almonds, Brazil nuts, macadamia nuts, hazelnuts, pistachios and pine nuts. Also, nut oils (e.g peanut, walnut or macadamia oils) should be avoided if possible for cooking or in salad dressings, Products with advisory statements that they may contain traces of nuts, or are manufactured on the same line as products containing peanuts, are ok, as are coconuts and coconut oil. If you are unsure, please let teachers/staff know, so they can take the appropriate precautions with those who may be affected.
