Healthy Eating

We wanted to remind our community that Paul Revere operates in accordance with SFUSD’s health and wellness policy and therefore we have 3 school expectations for students to follow: 

1. Eat Your Own Food: Students are not allowed to share food because many of our students have serious allergies and we want to avoid someone unintentionally giving a friend something they are allergic to. 
2. Eat Healthy Foods: Paul Revere follows SFUSD’s health and wellness policy which prohibits students from bringing sodas, drinks with sugar, candy and unhealthy snacks such as Taki’s, Flaming Hot Cheetos, any other spicy chips, hostess cupcakes and any other high sugar sweets (cookies, donuts,twinkies, etc) to school.  
3. Keep Backpacks in the Classroom: To prevent personal items from being damaged, stolen or lost, we don’t allow students to bring their backpacks out to the yards at recess or lunch. This also prevents the sharing of large amounts of food.  If your child needs their backpack because it is holding their lunch, they will be offered a large ziplock bag to hold all their items. 

If a student has an item that is not allowed, school staff will remind them they can’t eat those foods in school and to put them away or throw them away.  Students will then be directed to get school snacks and lunches instead if they are hungry.  If it happens repeatedly, students will be asked to give the items to an adult and the items will be returned only to a parent or guardian. And lastly, if the problem persists, we will set up meetings with families to discuss a support plan.  

We appreciate your support in this and know that together we can help our young people understand the expectations and follow the rules! Please reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns.
