Dear Parents and Students,
Ricardo ISD would like to remind all families of our district-wide policy regarding outside food and beverages on campus.
To ensure the health, safety, and well-being of all students, outside food and drinks are not permitted at any Ricardo ISD campus.
Recently, we have seen an increase in students bringing and sharing outside food items. This creates potential safety concerns, especially when we may not be aware of other students’ food allergies or dietary restrictions.
This includes, but is not limited to:
- Fast food items (burgers, fries, breakfast items, etc.)
- Snack foods (including chips, candy, and similar items)
- Specialty drinks (coffee, frappes, sodas, energy drinks, etc.)
- Any food or beverage purchased outside of school
This policy is in place to help protect all students from possible allergic reactions and other food-related risks. Our food service teams across the district work hard each day to provide nutritious meals for our students.
Students are welcome to bring a lunch from home; however, all items must follow district guidelines and should not be shared with others.
We appreciate your cooperation and continued support in helping us maintain a safe and healthy environment for all Ricardo ISD students.
If you have any questions, please contact your child’s campus.
