As part of a collaborative effort with the Centers for Disease Control, Division of Adolescent and School Health, the National School Boards Association, and the National Association of School Nurses, a new guidance document is now available from FAAN. Managing Food Allergies in the School Setting: Guidance for Parents was created to help parents prepare to send their child off to school with food allergies. The guidance addresses issues such as: providing information and medications to the school; building a food allergy management team; storage and administration of epinephrine; reducing risks in the classroom; school meals; transportation; field trips and extracurricular activities; bullying; and teaching a child how to self-manage his or her food allergy.
