Arizona Healthy Schools Act: What Families Need to Know
Beginning with the 2026–2027 school year, Arizona law prohibits schools from serving, selling, or allowing a third party to sell foods containing certain restricted additives during the school day.
What does this mean for our families?
Families may still send food from home for their own child, even if the food contains one of the restricted ingredients. However, food containing these ingredients cannot be brought to share with other students, including for birthday celebrations, classroom parties, snacks, prizes, or incentives.
If you would like to send something to share with the class, please choose an option that meets the new requirements. Some easy ideas include fresh fruit, applesauce cups, MadeGood bars, SkinnyPop popcorn, or cheese sticks. Please check ingredient labels before purchasing, as product ingredients can change.
Thank you for partnering with us as we adjust to these new requirements and continue supporting our students! 💙
