Classrooms are only designated ‘allergy aware’ if a child is found to have a food allergy. Staff members are alerted to any allergies that students may have and a list is posted in the office as well as with the Site Coordinator and nurse. Additionally, any teacher who has a student with food allergies will receive training in Epipen administration.
