Nuts and allergies

Dear Students and Parents,

An important reminder to parents and students that we are a nut free school. We have students and teachers throughout the school that are severely allergic to nuts, so please do not bring nuts, peanuts or sunflower seeds to school.

People who suffer from nut allergies can develop a severe, potentially life-threatening allergic reaction. If someone has a nut allergy it is not just eating nuts that can cause a severe reaction, just being touched on the skin or smelling the breath of someone who has had nuts or a product containing nuts can trigger anaphylactic shock (which can cause breathing and swallowing difficulties).

Thank you for your consideration,
The IESL-team
