Nut Allergy

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Some pupils attending Shandrum National School have an allergic reaction to peanuts/ nuts. This allergic reaction can occur through ingestion of nut products, cross contamination and breathing peanuts/ nuts in the air.

Since this condition can be life threatening the Board of Management is asking for your help in minimising the risk to this child by:

• Avoiding giving your child anything in their lunch that contains nuts.

• We also ask that you speak to your child about not sharing their lunches. The class teachers will also speak to their pupils about this.

• 
  

Due to the severity of the problem, it is important that all parents carry out the measures above to reduce the risk of an allergic reaction to these children.

We thank you for your co-operation in this matter.

Yours sincerely,

Carmel Walmsley.

Principal.
