Allergy Guidelines Notice
Dear Parents/Guardians,
Here at Villa Grove Schools, we pride ourselves in educating and protecting each of our students to the best of our abilities. Because of this we are implementing some new safeguards for our students with food allergies.
There will be no food allowed in classrooms in the high school or junior high. Students must eat in designated areas only or, if they bring peanut products of any kind, eat in the sections of the cafeteria that are assigned for peanuts.
In the elementary, students may bring in treats for special occasions (e.g., birthday or holiday parties), but they must be store-bought, labeled, and checked in at the office by office staff. Please avoid peanut products when bringing in snacks. Each teacher will send home a letter if their class has a student with an allergy. At lunch, students will sit in the assigned sections of the cafeteria for peanuts if they bring any kind of peanut product.
Thank you for caring about all our students and following our new guidelines to keep everyone safe. Remember, every child is someone’s child and we educate them all.
Sincerely,
Villa Grove Administration
