Page 2 Teston Village Public School Creating Safe and Healthy Schools for Children with Allergies School staff and parents are responsible for creating safe and healthy environments for students. This is an additional challenge for schools attended by children with allergies, especially life threatening allergies. While it is impossible to create a riskfree environment, school staff and parents can take important steps to minimize potentially fatal allergic reactions as there are implications for the whole school, not just individual classrooms. It is especially important that parents communicate a life threatening allergy to the school as soon as they are aware of it. Please notify the principal and your child’s teacher, so that we have accurate records and establish the protocol to follow with your child. Nut Free Snacks Leaving for Lunch Students are expected to eat at school or to walk home for lunch. If your child will be going home for lunch regularly, a form must be filled out to confirm this. In order to monitor each child’s whereabouts, it is necessary to be as consistent as possible. If for any reason you decide that your child can leave the school’s premises for lunch, YOU MUST PROVIDE WRITTEN CON- SENT IN ADVANCE. This is a matter of safety, and therefore we require your support, even if you feel your child is responsible. We ask that you discuss the responsibility of leaving school property and returning on time with your child. Regular lateness will not be tolerated. Teston Village Public School is a nut safe environment. Please ensure that you read the enclosed information about ANAPHYLAXIS carefully. We appreciate your support in working towards a safe environment for all of our students.
