[quote=Anonymous]OP needs to clarify- her title says peanut-free [b]classroom[/b]- so does she really mean just the classroom itself or the entire school?  And does she mean a snack for the entire class or just for the other child?

I have a child with peanut and treenut allergies.  He is still young, but I've learned that the only person you can trust to keep your child safe is yourself, and sometimes you even fail at that. Although DH and I read labels, there have been times when we've purchased something and completely missed that it was cross-contaminated. I would never trust that other parents would respect or understand peanut-free classrooms and even a parent with the best of intentions can forget.

This post was a good reminder for me that DH and I need to keep hammering home with DS (who'll be starting K in the fall) what to do if he is near nuts and to only eat what we've provide him.

Regardless of who's in the right and the wrong, I'm sorry, OP, if your child went through that situation. I know it was scary.[/quote]
