In terms of treats, the teacher will know that your child has a peanut allergy and therefore will not allow children to bring snacks for the class that contain peanuts (ie, no pb cookies for everyone).

OP here - I didn't even think about the treat aspect. Thanks!

[quote] how would you go about "forcing" a school classroom to be peanut free? [/quote]

I didn't mean I would force them to be nut free, because I don't want them to. I just don't know if it is a school policy that if there is a child with a nut allergy, that the school forces the classroom to be nut free.[/quote]

They shouldnt because the research shows that nut free schools are more likely to have accidental exposures BECAUSE everyone from top-down including the kid thinks its a "safe" environment.

Handwashing, tables, and no sharing of food is the best policy. You cannot educate other parents and kids to care about your kids' particular allergies. As far as treats go, you would be better off providing your own treats. Most teachers will let the allergy kid keep safe foods in their cubbies. Unless the school requires school safe foods most treats wont be safe because AGAIN you are relying on someone else to be educated, diligent, and responsible. Most schools require store bought treats that are labeled.[/quote]
