Wellfleet Elementary School has students with a severe peanut allergy.  Strict avoidance of peanuts and peanut products is the only way to prevent a life threatening allergic reaction.  We are asking your assistance in providing students with a safe learning environment.

If exposed to peanuts, the student may develop a life-threatening allergic reaction that requires emergency medical treatment. The greatest potential for exposure at school is to peanut products.  To reduce the risk of exposure, the Wellfleet Elementary School will be peanut aware.

Please do not send any peanut-containing products for your child to eat during the school day.  Any exposure to peanuts through inhalation, contact, or ingestion can cause a severe reaction.  If your child has eaten peanuts prior to coming to school, please be sure your child’s hands have been thoroughly washed prior to entering the school.

We appreciate your support of these procedures.  If you have any questions please contact Mrs. Cope-Crosen, RN at 508-349-3001 ext. 14.
