The word allergies includes food allergies or other types of allergies, and asthma. Allergic reactions reported range from mild skin irritations, to severe reactions during which the child may experience anaphylactic shock and even death. PURPOSE 1. The Campus Pre-School Allergy Policy is intended to: - support children with allergies at the Pre-School; - minimize the risk of these children having a reaction so they may attend the Pre-School - foster cooperation between parents and the Pre-School in dealing with allergic children; and - inform and educate all families at the Pre-School of the presence of allergies, the severity of the reactions and the ways to minimize the risk of a reaction occurring.

All parents of children attending the Pre-School are responsible for: - ensuring they and their children do not bring any peanuts or other nuts into the Pre-School; - ensuring their children are properly cleaned up (ie.

But are encouraged to have their physician fill out the applicable medical information; and - provide up to date prescription medicine, in the original container, for the teachers to use in an emergency. 4. Each parent whose child has a life threatening allergy is responsible for providing a current photograph of their child. 5. Parents with children who have life threatening allergies may also: - send the other parents in their class a letter which could include the allergic child s name, allergies, whether they bring their own snack, and any other relevant information to help the other parents understand the scope or severity of the allergy; - have their children wear a medic alert bracelet. 2
3 PRE-SCHOOL RESPONSIBLITIES 1.

It is the responsibility of the Pre-School to ensure that the teachers: - are given all allergy information, which has been provided to the Pre-School by parents, regarding the students in their class; - receive training on a regular basis in such areas as first aid, CPR, recognition of a severe allergy reaction, and use of prescription medication; - create an Allergy Emergency Plan for each child with a life threatening allergy in their classes; and - eliminate certain types of food and other items from their classes, when necessary, whether used in snacks, crafts or other activities; - teachers will check snack every day including inspecting all store bought packaging. 3. The Pre-School will ensure that substitute teachers are informed of the presence of allergic children, the location of the Emergency Book for their classes, and the details of the MAC Forms. If both teachers are away at the same time, then at least one of the substitute teachers must be trained in first aid, CPR and the use of prescription medication. 3
4 TEACHER RESPONSIBILITIES 1. It is the responsibility of the teachers at Campus Pre-School to: - create individualized Allergy Emergency Plans for the children in their classes who have life threatening allergies, including, at a minimum: o administering prescription where required, then a call to 911, followed by a call to the parents; and o completing the appropriate section for the MAC Form when medication has been given, including the kind of medication given, dose, time given, and a staff signature; - compile and store all relevant health and allergy information in the Emergency Book located beside the telephone in the junior room. The Emergency Book will include general allergy information, the MAC Forms, the Pre-School Emergency Plan, and current contact phone numbers. The teachers will also take the Emergency Book on field trips, and prescription medication for life threatening allergies when necessary; - post a master list of children s names, class and their allergies in a visible location in the kitchen.

It is the responsibility of the teachers to store prescription medication: - in a place that is inaccessible to the children, in an unlocked container, when the allergy is life threatening; - in a place inaccessible to children, in a locked container, when the allergy is not life threatening; and - in a readily accessible location while on field trips.
