Snack & Birthdays Policy Updates

Snack & Birthday Policy Updates

Please be aware that there have been changes to how we celebrate birthdays at school: please review the Family Handbook  [Located on the Start of School Webpage]

Tree nuts, peanuts and other food allergies pose a very serious risk to students in our community. In an effort to promote a safe environment for our students, outside foods are not allowed with the exception of daily snacks.  Outside foods for birthday celebrations are NOT permitted.  Foods containing peanuts, tree nuts, nut products and nut oils are not allowed on campus in snacks brought in by students. Please read all labels carefully before sending food into school. Coconut is NOT considered a nut.

🎉 To mark birthdays in a special way, we are introducing a new tradition — Birthday Tea with the Head of School — in place of treats brought from home. 🫖

Brookwood will continue to work closely with students with diagnosed food allergies or medical concerns and their families to ensure we best meet their needs. If you have any questions or concerns about your child’s allergies, or if you need assistance with ingredients, please call our School Nurse at 978-526-4500.
