Food Allergy Update

We now have five (5) students in grades kindergarten thru third grade with severe nut/tree nut & seed allergies. Due to the potential for severe allergic reaction, peanuts, tree nuts, nut butter, sesame seeds, sesame oil, and chick peas will not be allowed in those classrooms and during the first lunch. This includes but is not limited to: peanuts, almonds, cashews, pecans, walnuts, hazelnuts, Brazil nuts, macadamias, chick peas, and candy such as Reese's, Snickers, and candy corn. Please be mindful to read labels and not allow foods labeled "May contain nuts" or "may have been processed in facility where nuts are processed" to come to school. Please keep these snacks at home.
Please take special care that when your child has nut products at home in the morning that their hands and faces are washed well.
Cafe Services is onboard with our policy and everything they offer our students is Nut, Peanut, and Seed free. We will all do our best to help you and your child find nut-free alternatives.
