As we prepare for Kings Day on January 6th, please review the allergy policy for St. George School below.
Our school is committed to the health and safety of all students. In an effort to meet the needs of those with severe and/or life-threatening food allergies, we ask for the cooperation and compassion of every member of our school community.
To demonstrate good stewardship and love of neighbor, we ask that parents and students follow these important guidelines:
• Do not bring loose nuts to school at any time.
• All food sent to school must have a label on it unless it is fresh fruit.
• Food items with labels that say the item “contains or may contain nuts/nut particles/nut butter” may be eaten in the cafeteria only. All other times when food is eaten, the label cannot contain those statements, but can say, "made in a facility with nuts."
• Snacks must be in their original packaging with a label.
• Remind children not to share food with classmates.
• Alert the school if your child has a diagnosed food allergy so that appropriate care plans can be developed.
• Support allergy-safe events by bringing only approved treats to classroom parties and school functions.
By following these practices, we help create a safe and welcoming environment for all students.
