We recognize that celebrations like holiday parties, birthdays, and special snacks are important parts of the school experience.
In an effort to create a safe environment for students, we have 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, we are asking all parents, teachers, and school-related organizations to follow the procedure outlined below when supplying a Smart Snack for a celebration.
- 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.
- Please submit the Special Occasion and Snack Form at least 48 hours before the classroom celebration. We have compiled a list of Smart Snack School items that meet the USDA guidelines for a celebratory snack.
- We also encourage you to send in a store-bought snack that contains an ingredient label. Store-bought items will be permitted and submitted for vetting, while homemade cookies, brownies, and cupcakes will not be allowed.
- If this option is 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 on the Special Occasion and Snack Form. This will ensure all snack ingredients can be vetted before the party or distribution of the snack.
- If you choose to purchase the product from the school, please fill out the Special Occasion and Snack Form and stop by the Nutrition Office to make payment. Again, we kindly request 48 hours' notice to ensure products are available and payment is complete.
- If the Nutrition Director is unavailable, you can contact the school's Cafeteria Manager as an alternative.

The McKinney-Vento program is designed to address the problems that homeless children and youth have faced in enrolling, attending, and succeeding in school. Under this program, State educational agencies (SEAs) must ensure that each homeless child and youth has equal access to the same free, appropriate public education, including a public preschool education, as other children and youth.
