Important Update on Lunch Options
After consulting with the parents of children with nut allergies, we’ve determined that it is safe at this time to allow almond butter as a spread option in student lunches across all classes.
To ensure everyone's safety:
- Almond butter will not be offered as a group snackin any classroom or club.
- Children with nut allergies will avoid almond butter in their own meals, but their families feel comfortable with it being included in other students’ lunches.
- Select an almond butter that does NOT contain the ingredient: sunflower oil.
We hope this provides a helpful option for those seeking healthy sources of protein for their children's lunches. Thank you for your continued care and consideration of all students in our community!
