ANAPHYLAXIS AND  ALLERGY POLICY

 Mandatory Nut Safe School       

        All rooms in the school are NUT FREE.

            Staff and students are asked to abstain from bringing any nuts or products containing nuts into the school.  This may involve reading some labels and avoiding food items like peanut butter, some granola bars, and any other items containing nuts.

            Food sharing in the Grade 1/2 classroom is not allowed.

            Please note that one of our anaphylactic children also suffers from severe allergies to eggs and honey.

Food Eating Must Be Contained To The Classroom

             Food cannot be eaten outside on the playground, in the halls, gym, library, washrooms or any other common area.  This will avoid accidental exposure.

            Anyone dealing with an anaphylactic child must ensure that their hands have been washed thoroughly after eating. 

            Teachers will supervise the Grade 1/2 classroom while the students are eating.  Since allergic foods will be present (those foods containing eggs and honey) food sharing is absolutely prohibited.

            The tables in all classrooms will be wiped after lunch.  This will clean up any crumbs and pieces of food, which may contain eggs and honey.
