Official Notice: Bryant School is a Nut-Free School

Nut allergies have been on the rise over the recent years, especially in children. Allergic reactions to nuts can be triggered by a contaminated surface, being touched by someone who was eating nuts, or even through airborne contamination. People who suffer from nut allergies can develop a severe, potentially life-threatening allergic reaction known as anaphylactic shock (which can cause breathing and swallowing difficulties).

To avoid any potential fatalities and to promote the health and safety of Bryant students, we have adopted a Nut- Free School Zone. We ask you not to send your child to school with any foods containing peanuts, tree nuts (i.e. walnuts, almonds, etc.), peanut butter, peanut oils, or any other nut products.

We appreciate your understanding and we know that you recognize the importance of it. We seek to provide a healthy and safe environment for all our students at Bryant and ask that we all commit to making Bryant a nut-free school. Thank you for your continued support and cooperation in this serious matter. If you have any questions or concerns, you can reach me at 201-833-5549.

Thank you,

Kathryn Dyker School Nurse
