IMPORTANT NOTICE TO PARENTS / GUARDIANS - There are an increasing number of students attending School who have a life-threatening allergy to nuts and nut products. In order to best ensure the safety of these students, we ask that all students refrain from bringing food to School which may contain peanuts or other kinds of nuts. One of the best forms of protection for all concerned, not only to safeguard from allergies but also for general hygiene, is to regularly wash hands before and after touching food. Many thanks for your cooperation.
