[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.

Thanks to those who came with helpful advice. I appreciate it.

I sent the teacher an email asking to talk. We talked the very next day and she explained to me that DC sits on a different table where all the allergic kids sit and they monitor them very very close.

She assured me DC did not eat anything besides whatever was in the lunch box and suggested it could be crumbs that were on the table. She said they will take extra care to wipe the table properly and avoid cross contamination.

Besides all the snark I hope this thread can be used as some sort of PSA to educate those who are not familiar with the seriousness of food intolerance.

Again, thanks to those who tried to help.[/quote]

OP - I have to ask, because you seem quite certain - do you believe the teachers?  Also, didn't you know that your DD sat at a separate, allegen free table for snack?  That seems to be something everybody I know with a child who has an allergy knows about (well in advance of the kid going to school).

I genuinely don't mean to be snarky, but you just seemed sooooo certain that it was the school/teachers.  Do you have any idea what happened so you can prevent it in the future?[/quote]

I'm very certain because we're a gluten and dairy free home. It was at school and we don't know for sure if it was crumbs or if DD touched something and then ate without washing her hands properly.

I do believe the teachers. If I didn't I should be homeschooling my daughter and I don't believe we'll be successful at it. Their newsletter for October just came out and there was a huge note on the allergies issue once again so what I take from this is that they're handling it with the seriousness it deserves.

We have an idea about what happened, the teachers offered right away to remediate the situation and to be more vigilant next time, and I'm pretty content with their solution. What else should I expect?[/quote]
