Escondido School District Nutrition Services focuses on the health of our school environment through the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act, the USDA, and our Wellness Policy.
We have established nutritional standards for all snacks sold on school campuses, including parent/student organizations, teachers, boosters, fundraisers, or the food and nutrition services department.
These standards will affect any time before school through 30 minutes after school, meaning that 30 minutes after the last bell rings, non-Smart Snack-compliant foods can be on the school campuses. These standards carefully balance science-based nutrition guidelines with practical and flexible solutions to promote healthier eating on campus.
For more information, check the Smart Snack's nutritional compliance.
