A message from the office:
Dear Clairlea community,
We wanted to reach out with an important reminder about anaphylaxis. Yesterday, we had a student come in contact with something that caused an anaphylactic reaction. An Epipen was administrated and the student received medical help at the hospital. He fully recovered thanks to the quick response from our wonderful staff.
We feel that all parents should be aware that there are several children in our school with a severe life-threatening food allergy to nuts called anaphylaxis. This is a medical condition that causes a severe reaction to specific foods or other materials, and can result in death within minutes. Peanuts and peanut products and other nuts are the most common foods to cause anaphylaxis.
Although this may or may not affect your child’s class directly, we want to inform you so that you send foods to school with your child that are free from nuts & nut products. Also, to remind children not to share snacks and food.
We thank you in advance for your cooperation.
