Nut Allergy

IMPORTANT INFO...

Parents,

Please be aware that we have a SEVERE anaphylactic PEANUT allergy in our classroom this year.  Mike Mountain Horse is not a peanut free school but we are NUT aware.  If you are sending peanut items in your child's lunch please make sure they are tightly packaged.   If your child has peanuts in their lunch and is sitting close to the child with the allergy I will have one of the children move during the lunch period to help limit his exposure to the peanut item. 

I will be making sure that desks are cleaned extremely well every day after lunch to keep his chances of exposure down.  I will also be asking kids who have had peanuts in their lunch to wash their hands really well when they are finished eating.

Thank you for your help and attention on this matter.  We want the classroom to be a safe and fun place for everyone!

Sincerely, 

Mrs. Barker

Gum Chewing...

Parents,

I do allow my students to chew gum in the classroom as it helps some kids with focusing.

HERE ARE THE RULES:

* I cannot hear the gum

* I cannot see the gum

* I cannot find the gum anywhere but in the garbage can

If your child cannot follow these GUM rules then they will not be able to chew gum in the classroom.

They must bring in their own gum to chew and they need to be responsible to keep it in a safe place where it will not get lost.
