Here is the 2nd of 3 parts
3."has a 504 plan. teacher or room parent calls to discuss what is going on so I can make
food accommodations for children.  In addition, gave school cupcakes which
are kept in freezer for usage.  Also, school buys gluten free pizza crust
to prepare pizza on school pizza days, so children can buy. Also, I have
gone into school to review vending machines to see what they can eat."

4. "yes, my child has a 504 Plan
School has been very supportive as have the other parents. At the
beginning of the school year, I send nurse and teachers a letter describing
condition and how they can help.
My child receives a specially prepared, wrapped and served tray for school lunch each day at the same price as any other student's meal.  He also has GF lunches prepared for his field trips at the same price as any other childs meal.  The District policy provides this in pursuant to section 504.  Once the request was made they immediately began working on a nutritionally sound GF diet and how to assure that there would be no cross contamination. There have been other children ( since my son began his meals) that have also received benefits from the GF meals.  They have also made sure that his teachers are aware of snack and treat issues and that an accidental ingestion could have far reaching consequences. All of his teachers have become very aware of the disease and the possible signs they should watch for concerning his health and ability to learn.  
 Our District and my son's individual schools (elementary and now middle school) have been very cooperative in providing him with gluten free meals in the cafeteria and for field trips.  His school nurses, guidance counselors and teachers have always been extremely kind, caring and concerned that his diet is being followed and in addressing any health issues that have educational repercussions.  Biopsies (done for other medical reasons...but checked for diet compliance while there) showed extreme compliance with the diet.  This is to say that we are very satisfied with our schools assistance in dealing with our son's health issues."

5."The dietitian at our pediatric gastroenterologist's office informed us that "by law" our son's elementary school cafeteria (in San Antonio, Texas) HAD TO accommodate his gluten-free diet.  The school cafeteria manager was not familiar with either celiac disease nor the ingredients in all the foods served by the cafeteria so I went to the dietitian for the school district (serving 70,000 students).  She said I was the first and only parent to contact her regarding celiac disease.  (This surprised me because statistically there should be many more kids with this diagnosis but maybe they're eating food from home or.....)  The extent of her assistance was to allow ME to research the ingredients in every recipe and food item the school served and to allow ME to come up with a list of gluten free items that the school district already uses and stocks that my son could eat.  She also arranged for my son to receive a "special tray" with the gluten-free foods on the days that only gluten entrees were being served.  So far, the cafeteria manager has been diligent in adhering to the menu I prepare each month.  Bottom line:  the school accommodated my son's dietary needs but I had to do all the legwork and follow-up (which is OK I guess since I would've done that anyway to make sure they were doing it right....it is my kid after all....)"
