[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is a form to fill out to request special meals when needed

https://ww2.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/forms/pdf/240-23.pdf[/quote]

That is if you can predict when you need a meal. We often can’t. If my child forgets lunch or we have something at home going on (e.g., renovations or fridge failure or whatnot), my child can’t go to school and have anything[/quote]

So if you can't predict (renovations or applicance breakdowns are not that common, though), then you need to count on packing.  And if DC forgets too often, send some sealed GF snacks to keep in a metal canister in the locker.  If DC's dietary needs are that specific that they can't do chips, salad, fruit, etc., then you will have to figure out a way to self-supply.[/quote]

So you want to school to always have a particular meal available just in case your child forgets or you are busy?  That does not seem like a reasonable request.[/quote]

Gluten sensitivity is exceptionally common. They could easily add options that could become non-gluten, such as a hamburger. It’s not unreasonable.[/quote]

Your kid doesn’t have celiac so there is nothing to accomodate here.[/quote]
 
BINGO!!!!  You don't get accommodations for sensitivities.  [/quote]

NP, but my kid with a sensitivity would get the shits if he had gluten. Just because he doesn't have celiac doesn't mean it's not worthy of accommodations.  :roll:

When we first looked into it, our school assured us they could piece together a meal for him. He brings lunch, but could totally figure it out if needed. [/quote]

My kid's waistline is senstive to gluten too, and I demand they accommodate my kid's specialness.[/quote]
