Being a Peanut-Safe School:
It has come to our attention that some of our students have food allergies towards peanuts. One individual student has a very severe, life-threatening allergy and can not come into direct or indirect contact with peanuts or products containing peanuts, peanut oil, or other peanut by-products. Therefore to protect this individual from coming into contact with peanuts or peanut derivatives, Gladstone Elementary School will be considered a, "PEANUT-SAFE SCHOOL".

To Be A Peanut SAFE School -The following protocols need to be followed for this to happen:

1. All students, staff, and visitors are not allowed to have any peanuts, peanut butter or peanut by-products in the school or on buses.
2. Parents need to check the ingredient labels on all processed food products to make sure they do not contain peanuts or peanut by-products before sending those food items to school.
3. All students, staff, and visitors that come into the school, that have had contact with peanuts or peanut products must wash their hands with soap and water before or immediately upon entering the building.
4. Due to possible cross-contamination during processing and packaging, we also suggest that you consider not sending any nut or nut-derivative products as well to prevent any allergic reaction incidents from happening.

This decision may cause some inconvenience for some people, but the safety of our students is paramount, resulting in this action.
The links to "Helpful Documents" at the right will provide you information about food allergies and anaphalxis. There are also links about acceptable snack foods to help you with your food purchases for your children's snacks and lunches.
