Dear Parents/Guardians of Hedding Grade School Students:
This letter is to inform you that we have students in our school who have a life-threatening peanut/nut allergy. As such, Hedding Grade School is a peanut/nut-free environment. The students have an allergy to Peanuts/Tree Nuts. These foods, even in trace amounts, may cause a severe reaction (anaphylaxis) that can lead to death. The following symptoms may occur: hives, difficulty breathing, vomiting and diarrhea, swelling of the lips, mouth, and throat, itching and sneezing, loss of consciousness, and death due to shock. Even touching contaminated surfaces or the smell of peanuts/peanut butter may cause a reaction. School staff have been trained to recognize such a reaction and to administer medication (epinephrine) in an emergency.
As such Hedding Grade School has the following policy:
*Our hot lunch is currently and has been peanut/nut free for several years. Students who bring their lunch are to bring only foods that are peanut free. Any student who brings an item in their lunch that includes peanuts as an ingredient, will not be allowed to eat that item, and will be offered a hot lunch.
*All birthday treats/snacks brought to school must be peanut/nut free and have a list of ingredients on it.
*All birthday treats/snacks brought to school, must be dropped off at the office.
*We ask that if your child has breakfast at home, he/she washes his/her hands before coming to school.
We appreciate your support of this policy. If you have any questions, please call Hedding Grade School to speak with the school nurse or Mrs. Andrews, Principal or Mrs. Jessica Craver, Asst. Principal at 462-2363. Thank you.!
Due to delays of interior work that was to be done at Hedding before the start of school, we are going to postpone Backpack Night and have an Open House on Tuesday, September 13 from 5-7 p.m. More information regarding Open House will be provided in the coming weeks. We are sorry for the delay, but want to give teachers and staff the opportunity to get classrooms organized and ready for students. We are excited to see all students on Wednesday, August 17. School starts at 8:10 a.m. Students may arrive on campus at 7:45 a.m. to eat breakfast or go to their playground.
