Due to the increasing number of students with food allergies and other dietary sensitivities, all members of the Riviera Schools community must be very diligent in following the rules with regard to exposing children to food products. When bringing food from home, students should not bring any products that contain peanuts or that have been manufactured in a plant that processes peanuts. Other than authorized lunch and snacks, employees may not give food or beverages to students at any time unless specifically authorized by the headmaster or principal.

The Day School campus has a NO FOOD POLICY. Other than food provided by the school as a part of the lunch or snack program and food sent by a parent for his/her child as a part of lunch or authorized snack, NO FOOD OR BEVERAGES shall be given to the children by any employee, parent, or student at any time except as provided herein. Students may not share food with one another.

Food products (which includes anything edible) may not be given to the children as rewards, incentives, gifts, or otherwise. Food products may not be given to the children before, during, or after school. Food products may not be given to the students to take home.

There will be no class holiday parties involving food products.

No gum or candy shall be allowed in school. Employees will confiscate any gum or candy immediately when found. If candy is provided by parents as a part of lunch or snack, it must be eaten at lunch time or snack time only; if not, it must be discarded before leaving the lunch area.

Parents will be provided with a code or key card and will also be required to complete an additional security process.
