Reminders Regarding Snacks/Food
Below you will find a reminder from the Portledge Handbook regarding snacks and food at Portledge, and ask that you read it carefully so that we can best prevent any complications for students who may have allergies:
Lunch and Snack
FLIK, our food service provider, supplies a healthy daily selection of nutritious lunch choices for all children from nursery through fifth grade. Our chef also provides a healthy snack for all children each day. We discourage families from sending in their own snack, unless discussed with the teacher, to avoid complications due to allergies in the class.

Life-threatening Allergies
For the protection of the growing number of Portledge students with serious peanut/tree-nut allergies, we do not serve peanut butter or nut products in our cafeterias. While other foods - for example, dairy products or seafood - can also cause life-threatening allergic reactions, nuts present a special problem for two reasons: they are the most common culprit in severe food allergies, and they are an oily substance, which makes those allergens especially transferable. To ensure the safety of our students, all outside food should 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.
