Yes, we do have a lost & found cart on campus! Be on the lookout for the cart to be rolled out to the drop off and pick up areas so you can check for your child's items. You never know what you might be missing until you take a look!
Alternatively, you can always stop by the Community Room (near the front entrance, across from the front office) to check the cart for missing items.
Brentwood is indeed a “nut aware” campus! This means that if a student has a nut allergy, the child's parents or teacher may request that other parents in the class voluntarily try to use non-peanut or tree nut snacks and food items in their kids’ lunch and snacks.
Brentwood staff teaches all students to NOT share food, however parents of children with nut allergies should ensure that their students are well-educated about their own allergies.
If you have a child with a nut allergy, you can find additional recommendations and tips here.
