K-6 Smart Snack Guidelines
In an effort to meet Federal Government Regulations concerning student wellness, the Raymore Peculiar School District has made changes to the guidelines that govern snacks at school.
Snacks sent to the school for the purpose of sharing with other students must come from the approved snack list. It is recommended that all snacks sent to school exclusively for your child come from the approved snack list.
Each school may set a maximum of five events per classroom, per school year that are not required to follow the approved list. One example of this would be a school-wide party.

If a snack is not on this list you can see if it qualifies using this USDA Approved Smart Snack Calculator from the Alliance for a Healthier Generation. https://foodplanner.healthiergeneration.org/calculator/ If you find an item you believe qualifies, please make a suggestion which will be reviewed by Administration at the end of this school year. If found to qualify, the snack list will be revised to include that item in the handbook for the following school year. Suggestions can be made here: http://goo.gl/forms/ly27Ha5WP0
