Nevada Schools Snack Policy
In the interest of providing the safest environment for our students, the following guidelines are to be
followed. These guidelines are to be followed for all parties, snacks, and treats sent to school.
We require that any food sent to school from home be sealed and prepackaged. We want to insure
that snacks are safe and free of contamination. Individually prepackaged treats are fine, but not
necessary. Large boxes of treats that are unopened are O.K. to send as well. A list of snacks that fit the
guidelines are listed below. If food is sent that does not fit the above guidelines, it will not be served to the
students. Our food service dept. will also supply snacks or treats – please contact Candy Anderson at 382-
3521 to make arrangements for those to be provided to your child’s classroom.

refreshments. We acknowledge that parties are special celebrations and, therefore, we do not require that
these snacks fit the “healthy” criteria or non-food items are appropriate as well. They do need to be
prepackaged and sealed to encourage food safety.
BIRTHDAY TREATS
If you choose to send birthday treats, they need to be prepackaged but do not need to follow the healthy
