Nut Aware

Nut-Aware Environment

 

Saint John XXIII School is a nut-aware environment.  This school policy is in place to provide a safe environment for our children and staff who have life-threatening allergies to nuts and nut products.  We ask parents to monitor this closely with your children as you prepare snacks and lunches to be brought to school.  In the event that a nut product is brought to school, noon supervisors have been instructed to replace the product with a nutritional nut-free snack and to send a note and the snack back home to remind parents to please choose nut free snacks.

We will not be able to distribute any birthday "treats" or food that is brought in. If your child would really like to share on their birthday, there are many non-food options available such as: a book donation or pencils.
