Grab your pencils and get ready to take notes because FARE is here to help you fill your backpack with renewed confidence as you take on the new school year.

Help Us Bring FAMS to More Schools
Reach out to your school's principal, nurse, teachers, or other staff members and encourage them to use Food Allergy Management in Schools (FAMS): Expert Recommendations for K–12. We have a limited number of professionally printed food allergy awareness posters from FARE, on “How a Child Might Describe an Allergic Reaction,” perfect for sharing in an educational space. We will mail a poster to the first 350 people who reach out to a school in their community.
Back to School With Food Allergy Checklist
Getting ready for school can be overwhelming. FARE has compiled lists of who to talk to, what documents you need, and how to best prepare you and your child with food allergy for a confident return to school this year.
