COVID-19-Related School Resources
While life is getting back to normal for many, kids under 5 are still not eligible for the vaccine so schools may still have guidelines and safety procedures in place.
Whether your student has been away from the classroom for just a few weeks or for 18 months, this new year of in-person learning raises questions and concerns for parents of kids with food allergies:
- If my child is wearing a mask, will reaction symptoms go unnoticed?
- Can handwashing and surface cleaning protect against food allergens and other dangerous particles?
- Will the teacher know what to do in case of an emergency?
To complement the latest COVID-19 school guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, FARE has resources for parents and teachers that can help students with food allergies stay safe and return to school with confidence.
