    Please note: The Family Center's policy is different from the policy for grades K-12.

    The School District of Clayton is working to ensure that our schools are welcoming and safe for all students, including those with life-threatening or other serious food allergies.  This is a very serious issue affecting an ever-increasing number of Clayton students. With the safety of all children and staff in mind, The Family Center restricts peanuts and tree nuts, and products that may have been produced in a facility where peanuts or tree nuts may have been processed or present.

    Your cooperation is essential to the safety of our children and staff.  Peanuts and tree-nuts are in products that one wouldn't necessarily expect. It is important to become an ingredient label reader. Examples of cross-contaminated products that we cannot have in the classroom are:

    -    M&Ms
    -    Ritz Bits with cheese
    -    Nestle Chocolate Chips
    -    Schnuck’s Bakery Products

    Please check labels on pre-packaged items.

    The Family Center, on both the Gay Avenue and the Clayton High School campuses, continues to restrict products that may have been produced in a facility where peanuts or tree nuts may have been processed or present. Please note that our policy is different from the District policy for grades K-12, which does not restrict products that may have been produced in a facility where peanuts or tree nuts may have been processed or present.

    Please read ingredient lists and labels carefully. 
    Safety is everyone’s responsibility.
