Treat Policy

In order to promote healthy eating habits, United Community School District has implemented the following guidelines for food provided to students outside of lunch and breakfast.

School Parties/Celebrations

Classroom parties/celebrations will be limited to 3 per year that include food. This includes Fall, Winter and Friendship parties.

Birthday Celebrations

Outside food and drink items may be brought in for birthdays. Your child may bring a pre-packaged food item for their birthday to share with the class.

Snacks

To help maximize instructional time and keep our focus on student engagement in both academic learning and social-emotional development, snack time will be provided for our Preschool and Kindergarten students only during the school day this year.

Students in all grade levels are still encouraged to join us for breakfast each morning from 7:45–8:10 a.m. We appreciate your support as we continue to make decisions that prioritize meaningful learning opportunities while ensuring our youngest learners receive the additional support they need.

Food Usage

When food is used as part of the celebration/reward for academic performance or good behavior, the school district encourages food or beverages that meet or exceed school district nutrition standards and will not withhold food or beverages (including food served through meals) as a punishment.

Acceptable Food

In order to promote healthy eating and provide food that students are not allergic to, the following food are examples of acceptable food:

Carrot or celery sticks Popcorn

Fruit Cups Raisins

Granola Bars String Cheese

Jello cups Crackers

Nutri-grain bars

This list includes foods that do not contain allergens. Please note that classrooms that contain an allergy may have different outside food requirements.
