Reminder about Bringing Snacks to School

Beginning in the 2026–2027 school year, the Arizona Healthy Schools Act prohibits public schools from serving, selling, or allowing third parties to sell ultra-processed foods on campus during the regular school day.

Where does this apply?

This requirement impacts food and beverage items across the entire campus, including:

• School breakfast and lunch programs
• Seamless Summer Option & Catering
• School stores, vending machines, and snack bars
• Birthday parties and student celebrations
• Classroom snack lists and rewards
• Fundraisers (Student Activities & Parent Support Groups)

Prohibited Ingredients: 

Foods containing any of the following 11 additives or synthetic dyes cannot be served or distributed on campus during the school day:

• Potassium bromate 
• Propylparaben
• Titanium dioxide
• Brominated vegetable oil
• Yellow Dye 5 or 6
• Blue Dye 1 or 2
• Green Dye 3
• Red Dye 3 or 40

Planning to bring a classroom treat?

All school events held during the school day—including birthdays and holiday parties—must follow these new state guidelines. If you’d like to send items to share with your child’s class, please:

Choose from our approved snack list, or consider fun non-food treats like pencils, stickers, or small favors.

Check ingredient labels carefully to ensure none of the banned ingredients are listed.

Keep it store-bought—homemade food items are not permitted.

Thank you for your partnership in keeping our students healthy and our school compliant!

Note for Families: You are always welcome to pack any lunch or snack items specifically for your individual child. However, food shared with other students must comply with state guidelines.

The Dysart Unified School District Governing Board has placed Proposition 421 on the November 3, 2026 ballot to maintain safe, functional learning environments, and support continued growth. The estimated tax impact to the community is $3 per month, or $36 per year.*

• Replacement of aging air conditioning systems and fire panels
• Renovation of aging facilities
• Construction of a new elementary school
• Land for a high school
  

Get registered to vote in this mail-in only election by October 5 at Elections.Maricopa.gov and learn more at Dysart.org/Prop421.

*Based on an estimated $0.17 tax rate on an average assessed home value of $215,435. Assessed value is determined by the Maricopa County Assessor's Office to calculate property taxes, and is not the same as the market value that a home would sell for. Tax rates are an estimate and are influenced by a variety of factors including Maricopa County assessed valuation fluctuations.

It was a great first week at West Point! Students returned refreshed and ready to learn, make new friends, and get to know their teachers. We sincerely appreciate families sending in school supplies—those donations will help keep our classrooms running smoothly all year long.

First Week FAQs

Question: Where can I purchase a spirit shirt?

Answer: Spirit shirts can be purchased online through the PTSA store linked here.

Question: How does the school handle recess during hot August days?

Answer: All Dysart schools monitor temperatures closely and follow these Heat Index Guidelines for activity and rest:

90°F – 104°F: 50% activity / 50% rest

105°F – 109°F: 25% activity / 75% rest
