Snack Guidelines

At Red Granite Charter School, we follow the Wausau School District guidelines for food and beverages brought to school to be served as snacks or treats.

Because some students may have allergies to items such as soy, dairy, nuts, or peanut butter, we ask that families check with your child’s classroom teacher before deciding on a snack or treat to bring.

Important Reminder: All treats shared with others must be store-bought and include a visible list of ingredients.
