Dear Parents and Guardians,
I hope everyone had an amazing summer! I look forward to meeting and getting to know all of you.
I want to share an important policy regarding allergies in our classroom. Several students, including myself, have airborne food allergies. We cannot have any food, drink, or products that contain any type of nuts (peanuts, tree nuts, hazelnuts, almonds, pistachios, coconuts, cashews, or any other possible nut) or bananas in our room.
Due to the severity of these allergies, please refrain from bringing any lotions, deodorants, or sprays, as they may contain these ingredients and cannot be safely checked. Additionally, please avoid using coconut oil in your child's hair before a school night, as it can trigger an allergic reaction.
In class, only water should be brought as a drink. For lunches, please check all ingredients to ensure they do not contain nuts, coconut, or banana products.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out. My goal is to ensure a safe learning environment for everyone throughout the year.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Best regards,
Mrs. Lounsbury
