My child wanted to attend an after school function recently. We went,there was floor space to sit and folding chairs. My child wanted to sit on the floor and did. Then I noticed kids with Reeses pb candy sitting on the floor near my child and I felt very uncomfortable. I asked my child to sit with me even though I knew they wanted to sit on the floor with the other kids, even though they didn't know the other children, it was a big step for my child to sit with them because of shyness. I noticed as we were leaving the school, that the Reese were in a basket and were being sold along with popcorn and sodas. I assumed some people just brought the candy from home also since that was allowed.
We ususlly don't attend after school functions, but I felt very uncomfortable during the movie knowing that kids were eating peanut butter candy and therefore couldn't let my child sit where they wanted to.
I feel restricted for my child and their safety. Is this something worth mentioning?

Do you have a 504? A peanut free classroom, lunch table etc...? I would be very uncomfortable with this myself.
In my opinion, definitely YES! There are so many other canyd/chocolate choices!

Disabled students must be offered 'equal access'. The law requires the school to provide non-academic and extracurricular services and activities in such a manner as is necessary to give students with disabilities an equal opportunity for participation.
So, in short, [i]Yes[/i].

wow. even with a parent present? where does personal responsibility come into play? guess i am just surprised that this extends so far beyond the classroom and school day.
After the holidays, I'm able to get back on and respond: Yes, we have a 504, however it has been ineffective, disregarded and limited 3 items, to say the least. I can hear the school personnel if I request it, "you mean you don't want the "other" kids to have peanut snacks?" That's what I get with the other issues from school officials. It's been a constand uphill battle and the classroom is not peanut free at this point. Still working on it, they don't see the concern with someone bringing peanuts/etc. no matter what I say to them. HELP?
