We are a Peanut and Nut Free School The Child School / Legacy High School has numerous students with severe peanut allergies. We require that no food / snacks / drinks with peanuts or nuts or traces of peanuts or nuts, peanut oil, or peanut or nut by-products are allowed on the Child School/Legacy High School campus. Therefore, for lunch and snacks we do not permit peanut butter sandwiches, peanut butter crackers, granola bars, and any cookies that contain nuts. HOW DO I KNOW IF A PRODUCT IS PEANUT AND NUT FREE? Under federal law, peanuts and tree nuts have to be clearly identified in a food label if they're used as an ingredient. Look for the word "peanuts" or a particular type of tree nut -- macadamia nuts, brazil nuts, cashews, almonds, walnuts, pecans, pistachios, chestnuts, beechnuts, hazelnuts, pine nuts (pignoli or pinon), gingko nuts or hickory nuts -- in the list of ingredients, or following the word "Contains." Foods that pose a possibility of manufacturing cross-contamination -- that is, where nuts were processed on one line and then another nut-free food was made on the same line, where it could potentially have been contaminated with nuts -- are not allowed in nut-free schools as ours. Look for warnings like "may include traces of peanuts" or "manufactured on a shared line with tree nuts." Package notices to the effect of "made in a nut-free facility" indicate safe snacks. It is the responsibility of each parent to READ the LABEL on all food/snacks before they are brought on campus. FOR THIS REASON THE SCHOOL HAS A POLICY OF NO SHARING FOOD. Please visit http://foodallergies.about.com/od/Peanut-Allergies/a/Peanut-Allergy-Overview.htm to learn more about Peanut and Nut Allergies. II. Junk Food The Child School / Legacy High School encourages student to make healthy choices concerning food. For optimal functioning, we encourage a diet that is adequate in protein, vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber, without excessive amounts of calories, saturated fat, sodium, and added sugars. Sugary foods, chips, and soda are not permitted on campus. Please do not send these products in with your child’s lunch/snack. Chewing gum is also not permitted in school. III. Heating up food Students are not permitted to heat up food in the microwave unless there is a medical reason. In this case, a note from your child’s doctor is required.

The Child School/Legacy High School Parents Association August 13, 2013 Dear Parents, Welcome to another school year. We’d like to remind you that all parents are members of the Parents Association and you’re all welcome to become active on the steering committee, which runs our activities and events. This year, we’re starting an ambitious new plan to help supplement programs and services at the school. The plan involves the creation of an Annual Fund that will raise funds for every classroom. You will be hearing more about this critically important endeavor in September so please stay tuned. Meanwhile, please watch the school calendar for the many events that the steering committee is planning for this year, including the following: PA MEETINGS. We host four meetings during the school year. For each meeting, we invite special guests who are experts in their fields to speak on topics important to all parents. FUNDRAISING. We operate several fundraising activities, including the student-centered Dancea-thon in the winter and a silent auction during the Founder’s Award Benefit in the spring. The proceeds of these activities are donated to the school to enrich our children’s educational experience. SOCIAL EVENTS. We’re planning to host several social events that bring parents and students together, including a pot-luck international dinner and a bowling night for families and a cocktail party for parents. We’re looking forward to seeing you at these events and we hope that you will join us to help make this a terrific year at the school. Sincerely, The Parents Association’s Steering Committee
