Portledge in the Now.

Food Allergies

For the protection of the growing number of Portledge students with serious food allergies, we do not serve peanut butter, or other peanut or nut products, in our cafeterias. While other foods – for example, dairy products or seafood – can also cause life-threatening allergic reactions, peanuts present a special problem for two reasons: they are the most common culprit in severe food allergies, and they are an oily substance.
To ensure the safety of our students, all outside food must be nut-free. Absolutely no baked goods containing nuts or processed in a plant with nuts may be brought on campus, including birthday or celebration treats. All food items brought to school should have an ingredient label attached. 

The elimination of nut products from the school is one part of a broader school-wide program that includes teacher and staff education in responding to allergy emergencies, written medical treatment protocols for highly allergic students at Portledge, and availability of emergency information throughout the campus. All teachers are informed before the start of the school year when a child in their classroom is allergic.
