Dear Victory Parents:
This letter is to inform you we have a Victory student with a severe peanut allergy so we are implementing a strategy to ensure a safe learning environment. Strict avoidance of peanut products on school grounds is the only way to prevent a life threatening allergic reaction.
If the student eats or comes in contact with peanut, an allergic reaction will occur that requires emergency medical treatment and an injection of epinephrine. This is a life-or-death situation. If she gets peanut in her mouth, she has less than 10 minutes to receive emergency medical care. Although not as severe, an allergic reaction can occur even if the student merely touches a table with peanut residue.
Parents and Students: We are asking you to help by supporting Victory’s initiative for a peanut-aware school.
Currently Victory has one student with a severe allergy to peanut. She will not be the last. Peanut allergic is becoming more prevalent. Victory is paving the way with ingenuity to address the severity of this allergy and promote safety not only for this student, but for future ones as well.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Thank you.
