Several students in our school community have severe, potentially life-threatening allergies. DuVall has policies intended to protect those students, while allowing as much personal freedom as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Peanuts\/Tree Nuts are prohibited,\u200b for consumption or use, within the building except in specified areas. This applies 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Areas where peanuts and tree nuts are NOT allowed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Shared areas including: Hallways, art room, music room, media center, gym, computer lab and other common rooms<\/li>
- Classrooms designated Peanut and Tree Nut Free<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Areas where nuts ARE allowed:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
- Cafeteria<\/li>
- Certain classrooms which are not designated Peanut and Tree Nut Free<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
In shared areas (all are \u200bNUT-PROHIBITED\u200b) one cannot have: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Peanuts or tree nuts (e.g., almonds, cashews, walnuts, hazelnuts, pistachios, brazil nuts, macadamia nuts, chestnuts, pecans) <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Items that contain peanuts or tree nuts (e.g., nuts in cookies, granola bars, trail mix, snack mixes, pesto) <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u25cf Items that may contain nuts, are produced on shared equipment with nuts or are produced in a facility that processes nuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If your child is in a nut-prohibited classroom, please carefully follow the following rules: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
- No items containing peanuts or tree nuts are permitted in the classroom, except those within a closed lunch container.
- Lunch containers may not be opened in the classroom at any time. <\/li>
- Individual snacks to be eaten during the school day should be in a separate bag or pocket of a backpack. <\/li>
- If you bring in classroom snacks, only snacks and treats that are peanut\/tree nut free may be served. Items produced on shared equipment with or in the same facility as peanuts or tree nuts are also PROHIBITED. <\/li>
- Classroom activities and projects \u2013 peanuts and tree nuts may not used in the classroom for learning activities, e.g. acorns brought in for show and tell, M & Ms brought in for 100s day. <\/li>
- Students in the nut-prohibited classroom and those visiting that classroom may be asked to wash hands at designated times during the day to limit risk of exposure to allergens.<\/li>
- If a product contains a common allergen (e.g., peanuts\/tree nuts), it must be listed EITHER within the ingredients list\u200b OR just below it\u200b. <\/li>
- TIP:\u200b It can be easier to look below the ingredients list first. If the allergen information is not there, then read through the ingredients. <\/li>
- Read labels each time you buy. Companies change ingredients without warning!<\/em><\/strong> <\/li>
- If you are unsure, err on the side of caution. <\/li>
- Even if the snack doesn\u2019t seem like it would have nuts in it, check the label carefully. Kellogg recently began adding peanut flour to some of its cheese cracker products!<\/li>
