Food Allergy Information

Belmont Hill School is a nut aware community. We are dedicated to fostering the health, nutrition, and well-being of all students, including those with food allergies, by providing a supportive School community that is as safe as possible. Our Dining Team and Director of Health Services work individually with students who have food allergies and sensitivities to provide safe and nutritious meals. A “My Zone” area is offered for students with food allergies and sensitivities. This area in the Dining Hall allows students to be involved in their own allergen-safe meal preparation. “My Zone” is free of all tree-nut, peanut, and gluten-containing products.

EpiPens are located at these locations throughout campus:
