The Balanced School Day schedule is an initiative to support learning in the classroom, promotes healthy eating and encourages daily physical activity. The schedule relies on a day that is nutritionally balanced for students, allowing them to eat/snack more appropriately for the needs of their young bodies, increase their concentration and energy levels and offer longer periods of uninterrupted learning/teaching blocks and physical activity.

Your child will have 2 nutrition breaks each day - divided into snack time and play time. Students will not need more food - they do need the same amount packed differently into Nutrition Break #1 and Nutrition Break #2.

These aren’t times to eat items like chips, candy or chocolate. It is time to eat foods that are healthy and satisfying.

The following schedule provides an example of a typical Balanced School Day at Lakeview School:

Snack Program

We will be trying to operate a small ‘tuck’ shop with healthy snack options, and cost efficient school items such as thermos, school supplies, and ‘nic nacs’. These will be available during the second nutrition break.
