Nut-Aware Environment
-
The Ramaz ECC, Lower and Middle Schools are nut- and sesame-aware environments.
Nuts and sesame seeds pose a grave danger for some of our students.
-
Any snacks brought to the Middle School—whether for advisory, PM snack, or after-school snack—must be nut- and sesame-free
and not processed in a plant containing nuts. This includes all peanuts and tree nuts.
