Some students in our school have life threatening allergies to nuts and fish.
Please DO NOT send these items to school. We all must do our best to provide safe and allergy free shared spaces (e.g., library, playground, washrooms, gym, water fountains, railings, etc).
Please ensure your children are in the habit of washing their hands before and after eating to keep all of our kids safe.
