Raymore Peculiar K-6 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 school for the purpose of sharing with other students must come from the approved snack list below and packaged, not homemade. One example of this would be children wanting to bring treats to school on their birthday to share with their class.
* It is recommended that all snacks sent to school exclusively for your child come from the approved snack list.
* Snacks offered in the cafeteria will come from the approved snack list and only be offered on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
* 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 holiday party.
We appreciate your support in our endeavor to promote healthy eating habits for all of our children. Please feel free to contact the Raymore Peculiar Child Nutrition department if you have any question or would like to see an item added to the list.
