Medical Information and Forms

Foods not to be taken to school due to life threatening allergies include: 

• ALL BERRIES such as raspberries, blueberries, strawberries, blackberries, cranberries, etc. This will include yogurt with real berries. Anything baked with berries is a concern such as muffins. Granola bars are also not permitted.  Artificial flavourings are not a concern nor are bananas and kiwi. You can certainly eat your berries at home but not at school. It is the juice of the berry that poses the greatest concern, even the smallest amount such as dried berries.

• Mango

• Nuts of any kind

• Shellfish

• Fish

• Peas and other legumes. Such as split peas in pea soup and chickpeas in hummus.

• Visible eggs such as those in a sandwich or a boiled egg.  Please be careful not to prepare or purchase this food. For example, Tim Horton’s egg sandwiches are not permitted. Thanks.
