Talk to teachers about nut & Gluten free snacks for school

Before classes start for the year, get in touch with your school for an early discussion of their allergy friendly snack policies and staff training. 

Download the document titled Living with Food Allergies, which includes information about food allergies in the United States.

Inquire about their food allergy emergency plan, make sure they are aware of your child's allergy, and provide your contact information and necessary medical information and medication in case of any questions


Once the school year starts, work with your child's teachers on avoiding allergen exposure, identifying ingredients and recognizing allergic reaction symptoms 
It may be helpful to provide a supply of allergy friendly snacks for school parties or other events 


Request advance notice of any field trips so you can plan ahead in terms of food and medications


On the home front, make sure your child is always equipped with medication, safe, allergy friendly after school snacks, and resources. 

    To assist teachers and school staff better understand how to manage your child's food allergies, we have developed a couple of helpful resources with important facts and tips. Our Survival Guide and Food Allergy Infographic are symptoms. Print these out for your child's teacher to have on hand and share with other parents to help spread awareness and education.
