We are a “Scent Free” school. We have staff and students with severe allergies to scent and ask that students and visitors refrain from wearing scented sprays, perfumes, or essential oils while in the school.
We are a "nut free' school. We have students with severe allergies to all nuts and ask that student lunches are "nut free". This includes WOWButter, even though it is a nut free product. If you send in food to share with the class, please make sure it is individually wrapped and marked as 'nut-free'.
