Students who have been diagnosed by a physician with severe food or life-threatening allergies need special considerations to help ensure their health and safety in school. We have a wide range of supports for students in kindergarten through grade 12 including:
- Registered nurses in each building who are knowledgeable in preventing and managing allergic reactions
- Comprehensive procedures for administering prescribed medications in school and on field trips
- Training, books and teaching materials for school personnel on prevention and intervention activities
- Staff training in epi-pen administration
If your child is diagnosed with a severe allergy:
- Contact your building principal or school nurse upon enrollment.
