Dear Parents,
Food allergies are on the rise and can cause a severe, potentially fatal allergic reaction called anaphylaxis for allergic individuals. There are a number of common food allergens. Peanuts and tree nuts account for the most fatal or near fatal anaphylactic reactions. To help make our school a fun and safe place for our increasing number of peanut and tree nut allergic students we will not be serving or selling any products containing nuts or manufactured with nuts. We also ask that you do not send any food into the school/classroom for common consumption that contains nuts or is manufactured with nuts. Please note that these food guidelines DO NOT apply to daily snacks and lunches sent to school by parents for their own children. They also do not apply to curriculum events and after school events with parents in attendance.
If you have any questions or concerns please contact the school health office at
781-396-2779. Thank you for you cooperation.
Sincerely,
Jessica Kerr, RN
Marianne Hodgdon, LPN
