RSS Student Emergency Form
Parent Information: Please fill out the form and sign where indicated. In the case of an emergency, it is imperative that the school be able to reach the student's parent. This form will be used by the school staff when students are released to go home.
Nut-Free School Policy
Parent Information: RSS is “Nut-Free”School. RSS is committed to offering a safe educational environment for all students, including students with food allergies, by working cooperatively with parents, students, and staff to minimize the risks of accidental exposure to a food allergen while at school.
Please do not send any products containing peanuts or tree nuts with your child at school.The best way to determine whether or not the food contains peanuts or tree nuts is to carefully read both the ingredient labels to see if peanuts or tree nuts are a listed ingredient.
If your child has eaten peanuts or tree nuts before school, please be sure your child’s hands and face have been thoroughly washed with warm water and soap prior to coming to school.
In the event that any student brings an allergen containing a snack, the teacher will take/confiscate it, send it to the office and replace it with a “safe snack” provided by the school.
Please complete and return this form so we know every family has received this information
