We have many students who have food allergies at Arete. Some are ones that we are able to monitor by making sure that no one brings treats with those allergens into the classroom. Some are ones that are so dangerous to a few of our students, that they can cause great harm if they are in a food that is being eaten nearby these students. We are a nut free school. I have posted this on the Arete Family Facebook page and on the weekly email I send out each week. Yet, we still have students bringing nuts to school and even some kiddos teasing others about their food allergies or saying that students can't sit by them because they have a peanut butter and jelly sandwich or nuts in their granola bars. There are large quantities of time that students are not on the Arete campus and can have access to snacks with nuts in them. For the few hours a week that we get to have kiddos on campus, please have them leave the nuts at home. Thanks so much for your cooperation!
