Depends on the school. My daughter is in 4th grade at Arlington Traditional, and has never had a snack. She adjusted, and I always made sure to have easy grab and go snacks in my car when I pcked her up from extended day. Fruit snacks were good.

No snack at our school, FCPS. My kid came home very hungry. His lunch was at noon, bus didn't get here until 4;45!

Our school has either morning snack OR afternoon snack depending on whether the assigned lunch is early or late.

At our MCPS school, there's no snack in KG either.

My first grader in APS has a snack sometime after lunch.

NP here. When should I ask? I have never complained about anything and don't want to be THAT parent. Should I wait to back to school night? I am another one that is concerned about short recesses, too. 2nd grade.

They have snack in YOUR school after K, but not in every school.

+1 though to asking the teacher...

Mine are still having snack in 3rd, and in 4-5 it was "as needed" based on the child (one kid had blood sugar issues and was allowed to have a snack).

Yes, kids have snack after K. Ask the teacher if they had snack.

2 snacks? We only had 1 snack in K. Just talked to my 1st grader, he had a snack around 2 PM.

My 1st grader said he did not have a snack time. He only had one recess right before lunch.

He has always had 2 snacks since he started preschool. In K last year, they had snack and 2 recesses.

Do kids have no snack time after kindergarten?
