[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why do some schools ask that snacks  not require refrigeration?  Does that mean you can send ice packs for lunch but not snacks?  Why is that?  I haven't heard of this rule.[/quote]

I think maybe a lot of these posters are at private schools? At our public there are really no restrictions on food whatsoever. Some K teachers request snacks not to be messy because 5 year olds have no coordination but I have never had rules about nuts, ice packs, mess, etc. beyond that. [/quote]

It really varies. Our old public had a total nut ban, but our new school half a mile away doesn't. [/quote]

My kids have attended three different public schools in DC and they have all had total bans on nuts and nut-based products. This was also true at their daycare and every camp they've ever attended. It's wild to me that there are places in the US that don't have this because it is incredibly strict where we live and if you have ever (as I have) accidentally sent an item containing peanuts to school and experienced the Defcon 1 level crisis response to this, you would be scarred for life into never making that mistake again.[/quote]
