Smart Snacks
Simi Valley Unified 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 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 school day, by any entity, including teachers, parent/student organizations, ASB, boosters, fundraisers, or the Child Nutrition department. These standards for snacks are effective from midnight to one-half hour after the end of the official school day. These standards are in accordance with the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act, the USDA and CDE, and our district Wellness Policy.
