Gainfield Elementary School

Every class has a snack period during the day. Healthy snacks such as fruits, vegetables, yogurt, cheese and crackers are good choices. You should not bring “junk” food for snacks. Please do not share your snack with other students. Since some students are allergic to certain foods, we want to be sure that students only eat foods they know they can eat.

A growing number of children have allergies to many food products, like peanut butter or other nuts. But food allergies are not limited to these. To help us provide a safe environment for all children, we request that you check with your child’s teacher to learn if any children are allergic to specific food products.

In classrooms with identified students with food allergies, a letter will be sent home informing parents about any food restrictions. Our position on this is critical to the safety of our students. The school will remove from the classroom, any food product it deems to be potentially dangerous.
