Notes from the Nurses - Managing Students Food Allergies While at School
There is a critical difference between food intolerance and a food allergy. Although some symptoms may seem similar, the risks associated with them are not the same. A true food allergy can cause a severe reaction and may be life-threatening if the food is consumed. A food intolerance can cause discomfort and unpleasant symptoms; however, it is not life-threatening.
In an effort to ensure student safety, beginning with the 2026-2027 school year, any student with a food allergy must have a completed Allergy Action Plan on file with the school nurse. The completed form, signed by both the parent/guardian and the student’s physician, must be submitted by August 1st to ensure the appropriate staff members are notified.
Food intolerances, sensitivities, and preferences will be managed by the parent/guardian and the student using the available menus at myschoolquest.com.
