Westfield Public Schools Food Allergy Guide
The first responsibility of all of our schools is to ensure that every student is educated in a setting that is safe and conducive to learning. Westfield has adopted a policy for managing students with food allergies. This policy describes the guidelines and best practices for accommodating students with severe food allergies. As a result of the increase in the number of students who have severe food allergies in our schools, we continue to reflect on and refine our practice to create a space where all students can enjoy school in a safe environment.
