Peanut Butter/Peanut Products
In most classes, students may bring peanut butter and peanut products for lunch. However, a number of students have peanut allergies so severe that hospitalization has occurred because of a reaction to peanut butter and/or peanut products. When this is the case, we will designate a classroom peanut free. If you have been notified by your child’s teacher that a student in the class has a peanut allergy, you may not send any peanut products to school with your child for snack. This also applies to snacks and lunches for field trips. This includes anything made with peanut butter or peanut products.
We have a special table, the peanut-free table, in the cafeteria for students with peanut allergies. Students who have anything with peanuts may not sit at that table. Students are encouraged to wash their hands after eating peanut butter at lunch since students with a severe allergy are often affected by just touching someone who has had peanut butter or by even smelling peanut butter.
