School Allergy Policies

School allergy policies are guidelines designed to keep students with allergies safe. They typically require parents to inform the school about their child's allergies and provide an action plan. Schools may restrict access to certain foods, enforce handwashing, and create allergy-aware environments to prevent accidental exposure. Staff are trained to recognize allergy symptoms and respond appropriately, including administering emergency medication like epinephrine. These policies aim to minimize health risks while enabling students with allergies to participate fully in school activities, fostering a safe and inclusive learning environment.
