Arlington Public Schools (APS) aims to provide a safe, academically enriching, and socially accepting setting for all students. Guidelines were developed by SHAB to specifically address the needs of students who live with life-threatening (primarily) food allergies. All APS schools are encouraged to implement these evidence-based recommendations, which outline prevention and response protocols.
Food Allergy Guidelines
The School Health Advisory Board has worked to develop Food Allergy Guidelines to provide guidance on prevention and response to severe allergies. The guidelines can be found on the School Health Advisory Board webpage.
Parents of students with allergies: When you view the lunch & breakfast menus on Nutrislice, be sure to filter the menus for allergens.
