As part of our commitment to student health, wellness, and safety, Arlington Heights School District 25 follows strict guidelines regarding the presence of food in our schools. This letter serves to notify you that students will have popsicles as part of their Field Day activity.

This notification is provided in accordance with Administrative Procedures 6:50 and the AHSD25 Wellness Policy, which states: Restrict use of foods as an instruction tool. In the rare event when foods are used in class, or in school sponsored events, teachers must notify the parent/student in advance.

On Friday, May 29th, students will have the opportunity to eat popsicles, provided by the PTA for Field Day.

Below is the product and ingredient information for the popsicles.

Our primary goal is to ensure a safe environment for all students, especially those with life-threatening food allergies. This activity has been reviewed and approved by the Principal and Nurse to ensure it aligns with the AHSD25 Allergy Resource Guide.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding your child’s participation in this activity due to an allergy or dietary restriction, please contact your child's teacher directly so that we can discuss necessary accommodations or alternative participation options.
