Allergen-Safe School Environment



Peanut/Nut-Safe Schools


At R.L. Beattie, we have several students who have anaphylaxis, a life-threatening allergy to peanuts and/or all types of nuts.  Children with this life-threatening allergy could go into Anaphylactic Shock; that is, they would get very sick, their throat would close up and they could stop breathing.  This can happen very quickly.

These children have been taught all the rules about not sharing food, but they are young and we worry that they might forget or touch something with nut residue that they cannot see.  If even the tiniest amount enters their body through eyes, nose or mouth, they can have a severe reaction.

We ask that you help us to keep our students safe by not sending food with peanuts/nuts or packaging with labels warning that the products “may have come in contact with nuts”.

We sincerely appreciate your help and cooperation in respecting our peanut/nut safe school policy. 

Thank you for helping to keep our students' school world safe!
