We are committed to providing a safe and welcoming environment for all of the
children in our school. We value the rights of every student and attempt to
offer reasonable accommodations for students with special needs.
Accordingly, please be advised that there are children in our school family
identified with a life-threatening food allergy.
We are respectfully requesting alternative food choices for all children
rather than foods that contain peanuts or tree nuts (for example: almonds,
brazil nuts, cashews, hazelnuts, pecans, pistachios, walnuts) for snack.
Some children have severe reactions to certain foods, so I would also ask you
to remind your children not to share their food with other children.
Please call the school's Health Office if you have any questions or concerns
and thank you for your efforts to help us accommodate children with life
threatening conditions.
