This. But if there is an allergy in the class, the teachers will spread the word about no nut-products if needed.

Our ES allows nuts. My son has a peanut allergy and the teacher included in her email to the class there is a child in the class with a nut allergy.

If the teacher has not notified the families about severe food allergy in the class then I don’t think there is any issue with sending it. I don’t think you even need to check with the teacher. (I have a kid with severe food allergies)

Our APS elementary school allows nuts/PB&J from home for lunch. There are (were) nut free tables and nut free classes - but not the whole school. Best to email the teacher and ask.

Does anyone know about loudoun county schools? My dd is obsessed with tree nuts as a snack. We have been avoiding peanuts though since it’s a more common allergy.

As the parent of a child with a peanut allergy, I certainly appreciate that you are asking this question before sending in a peanut butter sandwich.

I would say the best thing you could do would be to email your child’s teacher first and ask. The teacher should be able to tell you about any school wide policy as well as the specifics for your child’s class.

Jamestown is also a nut-free school.

The cafeteria does not provide nut products but schools have varying policies on nuts

At our APS Kindergarten, all of the K classes are nut-free (but I assume it's okay for the older kids).

Depends on the school. Discovery, for example, is a no nut school.

My kindergarten wants to bring a PB&J sandwich to school tomorrow. The school hasn't told us anything about bringing lunch. Does anyone know if there is a general policy about nuts or if it's the kind of thing where the teachers will email you if there's an allergy in the class?
