Food Allergies
Scenic
Acres School is an “Allergy Aware” school. This means we are aware of
students with allergies and work directly with families when accommodations are
needed. Please do not send food to school for your child to share with
others. If
a child has allergies, or any medical condition, parents are required to
complete the Student Health Plan each year. Additionally, conversations
with teachers or office staff may be necessary.
Medical
information is shared with all staff. Staff will make reasonable
accommodations for students with allergies. If you have specific questions
about our allergy procedures please contact your child’s teacher for classroom
questions and the main office for lunchroom or school-wide concerns.
Medication

Student Health Plan
