*Please send your child with a snack (separated from their lunch) each day from the school approved snack list. We will have the dry snack you send in each day around 10:15 am.

As safety is always a top concern at MCS, we are asking all parents to refrain from sending in foods (for snack) that contain peanuts, tree nuts, or have been made in a facility that processes peanuts or tree nuts. Any item may, however, be brought into the cafeteria for lunch. Certain procedures are in place to monitor the safety of all of our students. Please continuously check labels of snacks sent into school, as ingredient lists can often change. 

MCS 2025-2026 Snack Guidelines

As safety is always a top concern, for every student, we are asking all parents/guardians to refrain from sending in foods for snack containing peanuts, tree nuts, or have been made in a facility that processes peanuts or tree nuts. Thank you very much for your cooperation!

Please read labels carefully to make sure that products are nut free.
