Food on Campus

The San Marcos Unified School District recognizes the link between student health and learning, and has developed a Wellness Policy for the District that promotes student health through nutrition education, nutrition guidelines and physical education and activity.

Students may eat a snack at the beginning of their morning recess and we encourage some type of healthy food, rather than what we refer to as “extra” foods, such as chips and cookies. Please do not send glass containers with your child. Please do not send any type of cutting utensil with your child. Our cafeteria can help if they need assistance.

In accordance with this policy, we do not celebrate birthdays in classrooms with candy, cakes, cupcakes, sodas, etc. Please do not bring any food to school without prior permission from the classroom teacher. Food and drinks are allowed at other celebration events, however they must follow the SMUSD Food and Beverage Guidelines. Always check with the classroom teacher prior to bringing any type of food item into the classroom. More information regarding the Wellness policy can be found on the SMUSD Nutrition Services page or by calling 760-752-1269.
