Snack Policy
At our school parents provide snack for their child’s class once a month. We have developed a snack policy so that our snacks can be healthy 100% of the time! At some point your child will be completely in charge if their own dietary choices. This is the time of their lives when they are developing habits and learning ways of the world. We have an opportunity to help them develop healthy eating habits.
MSE Snack Guidelines:
- Snacks must consist of 2 different healthy food group options
- Sugary snacks are only allowed on your child’s birthday or at class parties when requested
- Our school is Peanut and all Tree Nuts Free
- Provide enough for each child to eat 2 snacks in the afternoon
