Acceptable Snacks and Treats

Please refer to this list of acceptable snacks / treats when sending food items in to school for consumption in the classroom.  

In order to help us maintain a safe environment for all children at Nye Elementary School:

• All foods (cupcakes, cookies, cake, potato chips, pretzels, candy, etc.) must be sent into school in the package in which it was purchased with the ingredient label intact.  This includes items sent in for snack.
  
• Home-made items like cupcakes, cookies, etc. cannot be accepted. 
• No peanut or tree nut products or peanut butter sandwiches will be allowed in classrooms.
• Drinks must be in their original container.  Or, we ask that you bring in the package from which it was made.  No red juice.
• Birthday Treats are welcome; however, we suggest that you consider non-food items such as stickers, pencils, a small coloring activity, gel bracelets, etc.

There are a lot of options that are comparable in cost to an edible treat. If edible birthday treats are sent in, they must adhere to our peanut / tree nut-free policy.
