Richland School District Two
Acceptable Snacks for Students
Richland School District Two Board Policy (ADF-R) states the following:
Snacks Provided by School or Parents. Snacks served during the school day or in
after-school care or enrichment programs should make a positive contribution to
children’s diets and health, with an emphasis on serving fruits and vegetables as the
primary snacks and water as the primary beverage. The district will disseminate a list of
healthful snack items to teachers, after-school program personnel, and parents.
The following list was developed by one of our elementary schools and is not limited to
the examples given, since food products constantly change. At the end of this list a
simple formula is given for choosing other snacks. Please note the serving size
restriction on packaged items. The package will allow you to see how many serving
sizes are in the package and how much an approximate serving size is for that item.
We have narrowed our selections by serving size, saturated fats and carbohydrates.
