Talk to the nurse or the principal if you think it's necessary. There are guidelines that they need to follow.

This pretty much reflects ACPS too. One of our kids had a nut-free classroom and often sat with her nut-allergic friend at the nut-free table.

They don't have a policy.

No, they are not nut-free as a whole.

Have a friend who just found out her son (in pre-school) has pretty severe peanut allergy. She lives in Alexandria school district. Are the elementary schools there nut free (like DC?) What's their policy if you don't mind sharing?
