ALLERGIES
If your child has allergies please tell us right away, so that
we can work
out alternative snacks. Please also fill out a “food
allergies” label each day,
especially at the start of the year, and place on your child’s
back.
Peanut
and Nut Policy
Peanut and Nut Policy
Since we are an allergy aware school, we ask families not to send items for
snack or lunch that
contain peanut/nut products. Children with these allergies show extreme allergic
reactions not only to
ingesting peanuts but also to touching them or inhaling their aroma.
Cross-contamination is a serious issue. In other words, if a child eating a
peanut butter cracker touches a
toy and the faucet and then a child with a peanut allergy touches the faucet or
toy, he/she may have a serious reaction.
At BCP families take
turns bringing a simple, easily prepared snack consisting of at least two food
groups
such as crackers, cheese and water. The classroom teacher makes a snack schedule
for each month so that
families know when it is their turn. The children love bringing snacks for their
friends!
PLEASE KEEP
SUGARY SNACKS TO A MINIMUM AND BE MINDFUL OF GOOD
NUTRITION.
Due to CCD regulations, we can have no
home prepared snacks (including
birthday snacks).
To provide the snack please choose one
item from each list.

Snacks
for Children with Food Allergies
There
are many children at BCP who have food allergies. Because these food allergies
are so diverse, the parents of each child with allergies are asked to provide the child’s
daily snack. We recommend a clear plastic "shoe box" labeled with the child’s picture and name to
hold the snack items for each week or two. If you prefer, you may send a daily
snack in a labeled container. Keep in mind 2 food groups must be represented. Please see your child’s teacher for more
information.
Birthday
Snacks
Wondering
about how to celebrate your child’s birthday in the classroom? We prefer that
parents continue to
choose a snack from the lists above. We celebrate your child’s special day
with candles, singing, and other
birthday fun that vary from class to class. Parents may provide festive party
plates and/or napkins. You will
receive a letter describing your
child’s birthday in the classroom as the date nears.
