🍎 Important Update for the 2026–2027 School Year: Arizona Healthy Schools Act 🥦

Starting this school year, public schools across Arizona are implementing new guidelines under the Arizona Healthy Schools Act (A.R.S. 15-242.01) to restrict ultra-processed foods on campus.

Here is what families, staff, and community members need to know during school hours (7:10 AM – 3:30 PM):

📍 Where does this apply?
These guidelines cover all foods served, sold, or given to students during the regular school day. This includes classroom celebrations, birthday parties, club snacks, fundraisers, and rewards.

❌ What is no longer permitted?
Foods containing 11 specific additives (like certain artificial dyes, titanium dioxide, and potassium bromate)—such as non-compliant cupcakes, pizza, candy, and sugary drinks—cannot be served or distributed at school.

✅ What IS allowed?

All fresh fruits and vegetables 🍏🥕

Pure water (no added ingredients) 💧

Compliant store-bought snacks (like SkinnyPop, Pirate’s B***y, Cheez-It, That's It bars, GoGo SqueeZ, and more—check the flyer attached!)

Lunches and snacks brought from home for individual students are always permitted.

Take a look at the attached infographic for a quick visual guide and a list of compliant snack ideas!
