REVISED PEANUT POLICY
Peanut Reduced/Food Allergy Aware at ASD schools --- The Cottage and AES
The Aspen School District schools, The Cottage and Elementary School, are changing from a PEANUT FREE environment to one that is a Peanut Reduced/ Food Allergy Aware environment.
The Cottage and Aspen Elementary School will strive to maintain a Peanut Reduced and Food Allergy Aware environment. This effort is made out of concern for young students with severe food allergies. These allergies have the potential to cause significant illness and/or life threatening anaphylaxis.
The Cottage and Aspen Elementary School will strive to maintain a Peanut Reduced and Food Allergy Aware environment. This effort is made out of concern for young students with severe food allergies. These allergies have the potential to cause significant illness and/or life threatening anaphylaxis.
We ask that parents DO NOT send peanut butter sandwiches or other lunch or snack items made with peanut butter. Other items where peanuts are not a primary ingredient but made in peanut processing plant are acceptable.
We ask that families respect our Food Allergy Aware environment and additional requests from classroom teachers.
In addition, in efforts to reduce unintended food allergy exposures, each school will encourage GOOD HANDWASHING, NO FOOD SHARING and THOROUGH WIPING OF TABLES.
