  Food and Nutrition Services Policy Guidelines for Elementary
  Students are now allowed to bring bag lunches without a doctor’s excuse, a significant change
  in our food and nutrition policy for the 2025-2026 school year. To ensure a smooth transition, 
  the following guidelines must be adhered to when bringing lunches.
  

  • Students are expected to bring their lunches to school, ensuring they are prepared before the start of the school day. This is to avoid disruptions to class time, which begins promptly at 7:55.

  • When packing your child’s lunch from home, use ice packs or a thermos when appropriate to keep cold foods cold and hot foods hot. Students will not have access to microwaves or refrigerators.

  • Foods NOT allowed in the cafeteria:
    • Peanuts and foods containing nuts
    • Candy 
    • Chips
    • Fast Food
    • Soda/Sweetened Beverages

  • Foods allowed to bring and encouraged to bring:
    • Fresh fruits and vegetables
    • Whole Grains
    • Proteins
    • Milk/fresh juices
    • Leftover meals

  3. Lunches must be eaten outside the cafeteria and only during the time designated for lunch.
  4. Students are not allowed to leave campus during lunch or have their lunch brought to them at any point during the school day.
  5. Students will not be allowed to add their name to the list once the teachers conduct student lunch counts in the morning.

  Students are not allowed to bring/finish their breakfast/breakfast drinks on campus prior to the start of the school day.
