Questions about providing snacks and selling foods on campus? No food or snacks can be served or sold during the school day.
Escondido Union High School District is committed to creating healthier environments for students across all our school sites. Our school district has nutrition standards for all snacks provided to students provided during the school day in accordance with our District Wellness Policy, and USDA guidelines.
The Smart Snacks in Schools regulations apply to all food and/or beverages served or sold to students during the day, by any entity, including teachers, parent/student organizations, ASB, boosters, fundraisers, or the Student Nutrition Department. These standards for snacks are effective from midnight to 30 minutes after the end of the school day. These standards are in accordance with the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act, the USDA and CDE, and our district Wellness Policy.
