School can be a very frightening environment for a child with a life threatening allergy to peanuts or nut products. In an effort to further promote a safe and secure environment for all of our children, the school has been declared an allergen aware school. We ask your support in implementing this program by not sending food items which may contain peanuts and/or nut products. A number of our students suffer from this life threatening allergy and we must remember that these children are not isolated to any particular grade level, and like all students, utilize the computer lab, washrooms, library, gymnasium and physical education equipment. We ask that you place careful consideration to school lunches and snacks and refrain from sending in items that are made of, or contain peanuts or nuts. We thank you for your support.
Students who inadvertently bring peanut or nut products to school will eat these lunch items in a safe area outside of their classroom. They may return to class when they have finished eating and have washed their hands.
