Dear families, 

Last spring, the student wellness guidelines were revised to create a safer and more inclusive environment for students. The guidelines were developed in accordance with the District’s school board policy on student wellness.

Clarification of the wellness guidelines for daily snacks that students bring to school is provided below. (Please note that not all elementary classrooms have daily snack.)

Snacks must:
  • Not contain peanuts or peanut butter
  • Not require refrigeration or utensils
  • Be pre-packaged or in a snack- or sandwich-size re-sealable bag

Snacks containing trans fats or with sugar listed as the first/main ingredient should be avoided. Healthy snacks such as fruits and vegetables with less than 150 calories per serving are encouraged.

If you have questions or comments pertaining to the wellness guidelines, we encourage you to visit the wellness section on our website and fill out the contact form.
