Allergy Notice

Please be advised there is a student in our room with a peanut/tree nut allergy. 

We are asking for your assistance in providing this student with a safe learning environment. The biggest concern is peanuts/tree nuts. Even touching a small amount of
a product or accidental ingestion containing these allergens could result in a lifethreatening situation that requires emergency medical treatment. To reduce the risk of
exposure in the classroom, we are asking that you not send any products containing nuts for your child to eat during snack (which is in the classroom) and for birthday
treats as well. Please read ingredient labels carefully, but understand we may still double check since they are often confusing. If your child has eaten peanuts or tree
nuts prior to coming to school, please be sure their hands have been thoroughly washed prior to entering the school.

Since lunch is eaten in the cafeteria/lunchroom, your child may bring peanut/tree nut products for lunch. In the cafeteria there will be a section of a table designated where
no nuts are allowed. If your child sits at this table with a peanut or nut product, he/she will be asked to move to another table. This plan will help to maintain
safety in the lunchroom while allowing classmates without allergies to enjoy peanut/tree nut products in a controlled environment.
