Snacks/Treats Submission Form
HFCSD understands the importance of celebrations such as holiday parties, birthday parties, and snacks.
In an effort to create an environment of student safety, the HFCSD has implemented an Allergy Snack Procedure for the entire district while children are in class.
Along with the USDA and the Smart Snack Guide for schools, HFCSD is asking all parents, teachers, and school-related organizations to use the following procedure when supplying a Smart Snack for a celebration.
1) All Allergens for a specific product need to be vetted within the office of Nutrition Services and/or the School Nurse. Our mission is to celebrate in a safe and allergy-free environment for all students and classrooms.
2) Please submit the order form 48 hours prior to the celebration in the classroom. We have compiled a list of Smart Snack School items that meet the USDA guideline for a celebratory snack.
3) We also encourage you to still send in a snack that is store-bought and contains an ingredient label. Store-bought items will be permitted and submitted for vetting while homemade cookies, brownies, cupcakes will not be allowed.
If this is the option selected we will need the label sent to us 48 hours in advance.
****This can be done by either dropping off at the Nutrition Service office or by filling out the following google form. This will ensure all snack ingredients can be vetted before the party or distribution of the snack.****
4) If you choose to purchase the product from the school please fill out the order form online and stop by the Nutrition Office for payment. Again we ask for 48-hour notice to be sure products are available and payment is complete.
5) Teachers: We will need to get a list of the students in your classroom that will be participating in the party or celebration. Again we ask that this be sent to the Nutrition Service office 48 hours before the event.
This list should be confidential by email to: jmurray@hfcsd.org. Alternatively, you can drop off your list at the Nutrition office at the MS. (You may also submit the list to the School Nurse if the office is unavailable.)
6) If the Nutrition Director is away from the office or off-campus to check the ingredients and allergies, you can check with the Cafeteria Manager of the school as an alternative.
