The LEP Parent Handbook

Please visit the link below to access a current version of our Parent Handbook. In the Handbook, you will find detailed information on our curriculum, the cooperative aspect of our program, parent involvement requirements and expectations, school policies and procedures, classroom setup and tips on working with children, tuition and financial assistance, and more.  We ask that all parents, guardians, and others who will be volunteering in the classroom read the Handbook thoroughly.

Nut-Free Policy & Snack ideas

Some of our students have allergies ranging from minor to LIFE-THREATENING.  Due the severity of nut allergies we have established a strict Nut-Free Policy. We ask that snacks or lunches brought to and eaten at LEP contain NO peanuts or tree nuts.  This includes the following:

  • Peanuts, almonds, Brazil nuts, cashews, chestnuts, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, pecans, pine nuts, pistachios, walnuts, etc.

  • Any food cooked in peanut oil or another nut oil

  • Any food that has come into contact with nuts during preparation, storage, or transportation

  • Any homemade food item that contains added nuts

  • Any packaged food item that has nuts listed in the ingredients or says one of these on the label:

    • “May contain peanuts or tree nuts.”

    • “Made on equipment that also processes peanuts or tree nuts.”

    • “Processed in a facility that also processes peanuts or tree nuts.”

For nut-free snack ideas, visit the link below and go to "Click to download your copy."  This will take you to the regularly-updated Safe Snack Guide  by SnackSafely.com.  All of the ideas are peanut- and tree nut-free and many of them are also free of the 8 major food allergens!
