Birthday Treats, Snacks, and Lunch
Birthday Treats
We love celebrating birthdays! Families may bring in birthday treats for their students, but they must adhere to district policy and be approved by front office staff.
Treats must be store-bought that with an ingredients label that says "Made in a Nut-Free Facility" and can be verified by our office staff. All treats have to be approved. Please call if you aren't sure if something will be allowed so we can avoid an issue!
NEW THIS YEAR: Elementary school parents can request birthday ice cream through the cafeteria for birthday celebrations. The treat will be mini ice cream sandwiches at $2.00 each (must purchase enough for each child in the class). Funds will be deducted from the My School Bucks lunch account. Please fill out the Birthday Dragon form here to purchase birthday ice cream treats.
Food Allergies
Carroll ISD restricts all peanuts and tree nuts from classrooms; this includes daily snacks, birthday celebrations and class parties. All food items brought into school for classroom consumption must be coordinated by the classroom teacher, be store bought and have an ingredient label attached to the packaging. Any label that states the following is NOT permitted in the classroom:
- “May contain peanuts or tree nuts”
- “Processed on shared equipment with nuts”
- “Manufactured in a plant containing peanuts or tree nuts”
- “Contains peanuts or tree nut ingredients”
For safe food options please visit snacksafely.com. For more information, please contact the school nurse, Denise Anstiss, at 817 949-4500 or denise.anstiss@southlakecarroll.edu.
Snacks and Water Bottles
Please pack a daily healthy snack and refillable water bottle for your child. We have several water bottle refill stations on campus.
School Lunch
Students may bring their lunch from home or can order from the cafeteria. Menus are posted online at southlakecarroll.nutrislice.com/menu/. Please make sure your child knows their lunch plan for the first day of school and that your lunch account is loaded if you plan to buy.
Cafeteria Options: (3 options daily)
- Hot Plate Lunch
- Salad Meal or Bento Box Meal (rotating)
- Deli-Bag Lunch or Yogurt Combo Lunch (rotating)
We encourage all parents/students to prepay money into their lunch accounts:
- Online Payment through My School Bucks
- Cash/Check can be deposited in the lunch line at the point of sale. If you choose to drop cash off, please include your child's name and ID number.
- Please try to avoid dropping off lunches on a regular basis; the occasional "forgotten lunch" or special treat is fine. This year, there will be a "drop off table" for lunches for students to check on their way to lunch.
