A significant increase in nut allergies has been noted in our school population. In some cases, an allergic reaction can be triggered by skin contact with nut products as well as by eating foods containing nuts or nut oils. Please be certain that any outside food brought into the building is nut-free and has not been processed in a facility that processes peanuts or other nuts. During Holiday celebrations and special programs, please contact the office for allergy information regarding the food that will be served at these events.
