Dear ERfC Parents & Guardians,
We would like to make everyone aware that there are children in our before and after school programs that have a severe allergy to peanuts and/or tree nuts. This allergic reaction (anaphylactic shock that may result in death) can occur by simply breathing the breath of a child who has eaten peanuts, by touching the hands of a child who may have peanut butter on them, or touching surfaces that may be contaminated with peanut butter.
Since this condition can be life threatening, we are asking for your help in minimizing the risk to all of our students by:
a) Avoid giving children peanuts or nut snacks to bring to ANY ERfC program.
b) Avoid sending peanut butter sandwiches, other spreads containing nuts (such as Nutella) and any snacks or bars containing nuts or labelled “may contain traces of nuts or peanuts”.
c) Ask your child to not share their lunches and to never give peanuts or other nuts to any other student, and explain to them about this serious allergy.
Due to the severity of the allergy, it is important that all parents and guardians adhere to this policy and talk with your children about the importance of following these measures, to reduce the risk of allergic reaction in any child. If your child must eat peanut products before coming to school, please make sure they thoroughly wash their hands and that they understand the importance of protecting their fellow students by having clean hands.
We thank you in advance for your co-operation.
Dave Meizels, Director of Operations
