Sample Letters To Parents Of The School From The Principal Page 2

Dear Parents/Guardians:

Once again this year, we have several students attending (Name of School) with a severe allergy that can cause

an anaphylactic reaction. An anaphylactic reaction is an allergic reaction so severe that it can cause death. These

children have a severe allergy to ______________. Because these children can react to trace amounts, inhaling

or ingesting even minute (eg. 1/30,000 of a peanut) amounts can trigger a life-threatening reaction.

Emergency treatment involves an immediate drug injection and an immediate trip to the hospital.

These children with this allergy are showing admirable restraint and maturity in dealing with their problem.

They are taught never to share food and to always ask if their food is safe for them before eating. All of us need

to do what we can to provide these children with a safe learning environment.

Although this may or may not affect your child’s class directly, we respectfully ask that you not send food products

to school that contain peanuts, peanut butter or nut products, remembering to check ingredients carefully.

There will be opportunities for you to learn more about anaphylaxis throughout the year. Thank you for taking the

time to read this important letter. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to call me at the school.

Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Principal

Sample Item for School Newsletters

We thought all parents would like to be aware that there is a student (or several students) in our school with a

severe life-threatening food allergy to peanuts and nuts (anaphylaxis). This is a medical condition that causes a

severe reaction to specific foods and can result in death within minutes. Although this may or may not affect your

child’s class directly, please send foods with your child to school that are free from peanuts or nut products.

Sincerely,

Principal
