Snack List

For the safety of students with life-threatening nut allergies, parents are asked to follow the district protocol regarding food/snacks brought to your student’s classrooms for special occasions and celebrations (other than school lunches):  

• Notify the classroom teacher prior to sending snacks.
• Parent or child will bring the food/snack to the front office.
• The item will be checked by office staff to ensure it is on the acceptable snack list.
• All snacks must be store purchased and have a label identifying the ingredients.

PLEASE NO CAKES, CUPCAKES, BAKERY ITEMS, OR HOMEMADE GOODS.

For those students who have sensitivity to gluten, this list DOES include products that contain gluten. Parents must coordinate with teachers to ensure identified students are offered an alternate snack when necessary.
