Notre Dame School has adjusted our peanut & tree nut policy from a "Peanut Free" school to a "Peanut Aware" school. This means food items with peanuts and tree nuts can be in the building but we need to be aware of them. This includes sack lunches, snacks, or any other item that contains peanuts such as peanut butter.
All snacks, such as birthday treats, that are brought into the school must be prepackaged with nutrition labeling, so that the listing of ingredients is available.
Your cooperation in keeping all of our children safe is very much appreciated.
