Dear Parents,

There are children and staff at Briarcrest class who suffer from a
life-threatening allergy to peanut / peanut products.

Prevention is the best approach. Therefore, we ask your co-operation in not sending any snacks or lunches containing peanut / peanut products with your child.

Students who have severe allergies to such food substances are exposed to a severe health risk when peanut/ peanut products are consumed in their environment or shared with them. Please speak with your child about not sharing their snacks or lunches with other students.

The Toronto District School Board has procedures for the prevention and management of anaphylactic reactions. If you are interested, contact me for further information. Further information is also available through the...
Anaphylaxis Network of Canada (416-785-5666).

If your child has health problems of any kind, please inform your child's teacher or our office staff immediately so that the necessary health protection steps may be taken.

Your understanding and co-operation in ensuring that Briarcrest is a peanut "aware" school is appreciated.

Sincerely,

Jan Cornwall
Principal
