IMPORTANT Information from our School Nurses
The District has made some changes about food and drinks given to a student with a Food Allergy or Food Intolerance by a school employee.
The policy is a follows-
*No school employee should be determining whether a food item is safe for a student with a food allergy or intolerance to consume. That determination lies solely with the parent/guardian. The nurse should not be tasked with contacting parents to ask for permission for a student.
*any food to be consumed during school-sponsored events (like a class Christmas party, for example) will receive prior authorization from a parent
*no other outside food brought into the classroom will be given to the student
*the parent should send in a supply of appropriate snacks for the student, should outside food be brought in by someone else
Please call the nurse's office at 821-3324 if you have any questions.
