Nut Awareness:
At Briarcrest, we have several students in the school who have severe allergies to peanuts and tree nuts. We ask that you send only nut-free lunches and snacks for your child.
If you are a parent of an anaphylactic child, we are strongly suggesting that you keep an epi-pen on your child's person at all times - this means in a pouch around their waist. This way in an emergency, the epi-pen is available immediately.
It is important that all children feel safe coming to school, and we ask the co-operation of the school community in this matter. We ask that you do not send in products that contain nuts. Other things that may assist in the prevention of a reaction is to have your children wash their hands and teeth if consuming peanuts/nuts before coming to school, teaching your children to read labels at the grocery store, and talking to your children about avoiding sharing food.
If you are sending in treats for your child's birthday or for a special celebration, we encourage you to send NON-FOOD items such as bookmarks, pencils, erasers etc. If you do send it a food treat, please ensure that it has a "nut-free" symbol on it.
