MEDICAL ALERT TO PARENTS
Date: August 30, 2014
Dear Parent/Guardian,
This letter is to inform you that a
student in your child’s classroom has a SEVERE food allergy to tree nuts and
peanuts that could be life threatening.
It is our goal to ensure that every
student in our school is safe. Because this student cannot be in contact with
foods containing this/these allergen(s), we are asking that you avoid, if
possible, sending these foods to school for snacks or treats. Treats or snacks for the whole classroom
should be store purchased with clear labeling.
Please do not send homemade treats.
Even trace elements of these
products could result in a severe allergic reaction. Sometimes these elements
may be hidden in processed foods.
Please discuss the following school
policies with your child:
v
Do not offer, share or exchange any foods with
other students at school.
v
Hand washing with soap and water after eating is
necessary to decrease the chance of cross contamination on surfaces at school.
v
If your child rides the bus, remind them that
there is a “No Eating on the Bus” policy.
Thank you for your consideration
and support in this matter. If you have any questions or concerns please
call.
Sincerely,
Carl Deuker
