Dear
Parent,
A
student in your child’s class has a peanut/nut allergy that all parents and
students should be aware of. Consuming
even a small amount of food containing peanut/nut ingredients can be quite
dangerous for this student’s health. We
are sharing this information with you so we can make certain that any food
brought into this classroom is safe for every student.
Always,
before bringing any food into school, you must speak with the classroom teacher
who would be aware of any other restrictions necessary. Also, please be cognizant of this peanut/nut
allergy and check the ingredients to ensure they do not contain any kind or
form of nut or peanuts, such as peanut oil.
Whenever possible, please send food in its original packaging so the
classroom teacher or school nurse can review the ingredients as well.
There
are many healthy choices for treats and snacks in the classroom that would be
safe for all children. Keep in mind that
foods high in sugar and fat are never a healthy choice and should be avoided in
school. Please choose the food you bring
in carefully.
If
you have any questions or concerns regarding this situation, please feel free
to contact me or your classroom teacher at any time.
Sincerely
yours,
JoAnn
Hirsch, R.N., M.S.N.
