Allergy Letter 26-27

Dear Parents/Guardians:

There are currently students in your child's school and/or on your child's school buses that may have severe, medically documented allergies to peanuts and/or tree nuts, both airborne and contact types. In a severely allergic child, exposure to these products can cause anaphylaxis, a life threatening reaction. The safety of our students is of the utmost importance. Therefore, we are asking for your cooperation regarding this matter.

To assist us in providing the safest, healthiest school environment for all students, we are requesting all parents to send peanut-free and nut-free food to school.

Thank you for your cooperation in our combined efforts at keeping our students healthy and safe at school.

Anyone wishing further information about peanut/tree nut allergies may contact your school nurse.

Sincerely,

Scott Payne

Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction
