My child has food allergies - what happens at school?
Many children experience food allergies. If you are requiring the cafeteria to provide substitusions to the menu, we must have a form on file with documentation from your child's doctor stating the allergy and reaction. If your child has a severe enough reaction to require them to carry an epi-pen, please discuss this with me as soon as possible. Epi-pens can be kept on campus and all teachers responsible for caring for your child receive training regarding this severe allergy. Back to Top
