[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks - the question was whether anyone had been able to send their kids with extra snacks and whether it had been an issue.  Some kids have blood sugar issues and it's a thing.  But thanks for the unhelpful comments.  This forum never disappoints! [/quote]

You're getting unhelpful responses because you're asking for an unreasonable thing. Teachers can't disrupt the entire classroom by allowing one kid to "sneak an extra snack" outside of designated eating times because of a non-medical preference. Elementary school, even pre-K, is based on predictability and routines for the classroom. It's very different than private daycare/preschool and can be an adjustment for some kids and parents.

My DC was also a pain at that age with food, she would claim she wasn't hungry at lunch, then be a hangry monster an hour later. The good news is that DCPS breakfasts are sugary garbage, so it probably won't take yours a lot of convincing to get some Honey Grahams or a packaged pastry at 8:30am. Then he'll have snack 2.5 hours later, lunch 2.5 hours after that, and be done with school 2 hours after that. But likely he'll adjust and learn to eat breakfast. If not, the teachers can deal with his hangriness until snack.[/quote]
