There are a number of students attending Vradenburg with life-threatening allergies to peanuts and nuts.

Prevention is the best approach. Therefore, we ask your co-operation in not sending any snacks or lunches containing nuts with your child.

Please celebrate your child's birthday at home.  Cakes, treats and loot bags should not to be brought to school.

Students who have severe allergies to such food substances are exposed to a severe health risk when nut products are consumed in their environment or shared with them. Please speak with your child about not sharing their snacks or lunches with other students.

The Toronto District School Board has procedures for the prevention and management of anaphylactic reactions. If you are interested, please call the office for more information at 416-396-6615.
