My child's Montessorri school will be serving a nut-free snack but children then bring their own lunches. So, if we are going to do peanut/nutfree tables, and the class is large -- do you think I could ask parents to mark a lunch that contains nuts/pb? Ho would this be done? Any ideas for an easy code system? That way the teacher doesn't have to smell/inspect every sandwich.

The only idea that comes to my mind is to push the school to go nut free or find another preschool. The risk at that age is too great with kids not washing well enough, so much exploration in the classroom, fingers going into the nose or mouth, etc...
I'm surprised the preschool allows peanut butter in the classroom.
