I have a few ideas that I haven't seen mentioned here.
Low-fat or non-fat cottage cheese with some pineapple or peaches on the
side (remember the old "diet plates" from the Kresge or Woolworth lunch
counter?)
Individually wrapped imitation crab meat sticks--great source of low fat
protein but beware of higher sodium content if you're watching your salt
intake.
Mozzarella or string cheese sticks--again low fat protein and a good source
of calcium.
Yogurt with pretzels--a favorite with one of our staff members.
Yogurt with ground flax seed (high in Omega 3 fatty acids) or with all-bran
cereal stirred in.
I bought a Rubbermaid "juicebox" plastic container (I think it must be
about 8 oz), discarded the straw and refill it daily with fat-free milk.
For those days when you run out of time to pack a lunch or there are no
leftovers at home (my usual lunch), keep a single serving can of ready to
eat soup in your desk. A few packets of saltine crackers can add to this
meal. Another option to keep at school are those packets of tuna. If
you have refrigerator space, just bring a bag of mixed salad greens on
Monday and keep your favorite lo-cal dressing in the refrig. Stock up on a
few of those frozen meals (Lean-cuisine, Healthy Choice, Weight Watchers
etc) and keep 1 or 2 in the freezer at school if possible. Also keep a few
in your home freezer for a "grab and go" lunch.
