• Serious Food Allergies in Classroom

    Please read carefully

    This is to inform you that there are students in your child’s class who have a serious food allergy to PEANUTS and TREE NUTS (i.e.: Almond, Walnut, Pecan, Pistachio, Cashew, Hazelnut, Brazil nut, Macadamia nut, etc.)

    We are asking for your cooperation because a life-threatening allergic reaction can result from either ingestion or contact with the food allergen. Please check your labels carefully.

    Snack Time

    For your child’s snack, which is consumed in the classroom, DO NOT send in any food containing peanuts or tree nuts.

    Classroom Celebrations

    For food to be shared in the classroom for celebrations or events: · DO NOT send in any food containing peanuts or tree nuts. · DO NOT send in any products that have “been made in a factory with” or “processed on machinery that also processes” nuts.

    Lunch Time

    You may pack a lunch containing these products. Lunch is a more controlled situation because of the use of a table that does not allow nuts and peanuts. If your child wants to eat lunch with a friend at that table, we ask that you not send in any food containing tree nuts.

    We ask you to do your best to help us minimize any risk to this child/children. Feel free to contact me with any questions that you may have. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
