Allergies are a concern at our school. We have children attending school who have severe reactions to peanuts, tree nuts, dairy products, soy, eggs, wheat, and shellfish. We also have students with bee sting allergies and allergies to latex.
Due to these allergies, there are precautions taken at school:- Please notify the teacher and school nurse of any allergies your child has.
- We ask that children not share food at snack time or in the cafeteria.
- There are a few special occasions when food may be shared in class. Parents have the option of having their child opt out of the shared food.
- If there is a child in your child’s classroom with a severe food allergy, we may ask that the food to be shared does not contain the allergen.
- We also ask that any arts and crafts projects planned are not made with known allergens.
If your child has a severe food allergy, it is important to have the allergy documented in the nurse's office, so we can help prevent an allergic reaction at school.
It is also important to talk to your child about his/her allergens and what foods to avoid at school. A safe snack may be sent to school for classroom celebrations if you prefer.
