Classroom Snacks
Classroom teachers have a snack time built into their daily schedule. Your student may need or want a snack each day. We encourage parents/guardians to send healthy and nutritious snacks (fruit, vegetables, crackers, popcorn, goldfish, granola bars, etc). Always check with your classroom teacher to confirm the presence of any allergies. Snacks should be packaged in single serving sizes vs bringing a large bag. *If you are unable to provide a snack for your child please reach out to the main office.
Visit UCSD Nutrition Services website has more information about Healthy Snacks for the classroom.
Meal Payments & Waiver Application
Funds can be loaded onto student accounts electronically through TITAN, or by bringing cash or check to your student's building. For more information on meal pricing, and how to build a complete meal, please check our menus page.
