Food Allergies

Food Allergies affect an estimated 15 million Americans. According to Food Allergy Research and Education (FARE), about 1 in 13 children have a diagnosed food allergy. We encourage you to talk about your child's food allergy with your family and your child's friends.

It is imperative that you talk with the school nurse about your child's allergies, emergency action plan and any medication prescribed to your child. If your child has a life-threatening food allergy, the school nurse asks that you fill out the following forms and return to the school along with any necessary prescription medications (Epinephrine, antihistamine, inhaler).

• Food Allergy Emergency Care Plan
