Snacks

RCDN strives to operate a nut safe school environment. During school hours we will ensure the school environment is as nut safe as possible. We ask parents to use the Safe Snack List as a guide when purchasing snacks. All labels on snack items that are brought in to be served to the students must be read carefully. Some food items may not contain nuts but could be processed in a facility or on equipment that processes tree nut and/or peanut products. Food items such as these are not safe to be served at RCDN.

All snacks must be store bought, unopened. This includes special snacks for birthday celebrations and classroom special events. Fresh fruits and vegetables that are brought in as a snack should be returned to their original container or placed in a new storage bag that seals after being properly prepared. A snack can be brought in that is not listed on the safe snack list, only if the packaging clearly states that the item is a peanut/tree nut free product and has been manufactured in a facility that is peanut/tree nut free.
