[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP, you made me laugh. I asked because I know the older kids can buy snacks at the snack bar but the younger ones cannot. I promise I will not try to walk him in the door.

But he will likely be hungry before lunch. And if you check the title of the thread, maybe you could understand why I posted my question. Thanks![/quote]

If your little snowflake is hungry before lunch, he will have to gut it out like all the other boys.  It's one of the many ways STA instills grit.  My best advice honey is to resist the temptation to baby your little baby.  Once he steps through those STA doors, and yes, very much without you in tow, he is on his way to manhood.  Get used to it.  It's why you worked so hard to get him there.  Now let him go.[/quote]

There is some weirdo always referencing "snowflakes" on this forum -- don't worry about it.  Your post was very reasonable for a thread specifically aimed at "new STA parents seeking advice or suggestions."  I doubt this unpleasant person is actually a parent at the school, btw -- classic trolling behavior.  Fourth graders are still little boys which the school understands and, although they encourage them to grow and be independent, they know parents have questions/concerns and they don't treat 10 year olds like little men.  The first day with the Cathedral service (which is very moving, I think) will be a good opportunity for you to mingle a bit with some other parents and I bet they can answer your question about snacks.  Good luck, it really is a nice place.  [/quote]
