Kindergarten... again

After deciding to leave our child in his current school which is preschool->K, an opening has come up in a K-5 school.

What to do, what to do? The school seems to be allergy aware. They train all teachers once a year in how to deal with allergic reactions - and they're happy with me attending their teacher training session (that is promising). Their cafeteria does not serve peanuts. They don't totally ban peanuts from the school, but do strongly request parents do not send peanut or nut products with their children. *They* request parents send in treats for allergic children, and also have a stash of treats available. They do store the Epis in the school office, and *not* in a locked box (the head mistress was horrified when I asked her if they were in a locked box). So it looks promising.

But it is still hard to move my child from a safer environment (no nuts).

The plus side is the school should suit him to a T.

Its so hard to know what to do to keep your child safe, but still let them live their lives
