Allergy Alert

Please note that there are no tree nuts allowed at Dr. A. R. Lord, due to a severe allergy of a Grade 2 student at the school. Tree nuts include cashews, hazelnuts, filberts, brazil nuts, macadamia nuts, walnuts, and pecans, among others. They are found in Nutella and other chocolate spreads, pesto, granola bars, cookies, trail mix, and many other snack foods. Please read the label before sending these foods to school with your children, and do not send these foods if they contain tree nuts.

Foods that say they "May contain" nuts are permitted. Peanuts, coconut, and seeds such as sesame or sunflower seeds are also allowed.

If you have a child with a severe allergy attending Dr. A. R. Lord, please let the administration know as soon as possible.
