Hi Everyone,
We have made a couple of changes to our family handbook under the Allergy Awareness section. In order to ensure that all of our students are kept safe, we are only sharing commercially prepared foods with our students. Can you please add the following message to your blogs:
At Evergreen School, we encourage healthy eating habits. Food that is provided to all children within a classroom must be prepared in a commercial kitchen.
Schools continue to revisit policies that help protect anaphylactic children. Allergic shock can be sudden and even deadly for those affected. Often schools attempt to eliminate allergens from the environment; however this can create a false sense of security, as it is almost impossible to guarantee an allergen-free school. At Evergreen School, we will work together with families to create a safe environment. We recognize the need to balance the right and convenience of all students to eat what they like and the allergic child’s right to be safe at school. We hope that by becoming an “allergy aware” school we will continue to promote greater awareness of anaphylactic issues.
To help reduce the risk to our anaphylactic children, we ask you to bring lunches and snacks that are free from nuts. If you are planning to send treats that have been prepared in a commercial kitchen into your child’s classroom, you need to communicate clearly with your child’s teacher beforehand. If classroom treats are mistakenly sent to a classroom, teachers will contact families and remind them that we are unable to distribute items unless a conversation has occurred beforehand. In this case, items can be picked up from the school office or returned home.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
