Protecting Anaphylactic Students

Anaphylaxis is a serious, life-threatening allergic reaction. For some students, anaphylactic reactions can be triggered by bee stings, and not only eating certain foods, but by their smell and touch. Parents/guardians must inform the school about their child's life threatening allergies and complete an emergency response form. Please read Administrative Procedure 316 - Anaphylaxis (PDF) on our board website for complete details.

Child in Need of Protection

All staff members have a duty to act in a child's best interests if they are aware of any harm to a child. The health and well-being of all students is a shared responsibility and commitment among parents or guardians and district staff members. Please read Administrative Procedure 341 - Child in Need of Protection (PDF) and Administrative Procedure 342 - Family Violence (PDF) on our board website for further information.
