Dear Parents/Guardians:
It is the policy of the DC Everest School District to provide a safe environment for all students,
including students with a known anaphylactic allergy.
Anaphylaxis means that the immune system overacts to a particular protein found in that food. Each
reaction is unique and symptoms range from mild to life threatening with each exposure.
Anaphylactic reactions can occur if a person eats, touches, or inhales the protein of a substance they
are allergic to. Ninety-nine percent of anaphylactic reactions are caused by the following allergens:
peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, eggs, milk, wheat, soy. However, exposure to allergens such as
latex, insect venom, and medication may also trigger an anaphylactic reaction.
Although the school district cannot guarantee an allergen-free campus, the following measures will
take effect Monday, April 3, 2017, to minimize the risk of an exposure to an anaphylactic allergen:
♦
A reasonable effort will be made to not serve or purchase food products that contain nut
ingredients for school-operated programs.
♦
Nut-containing products will not be served for school operated-meals in grades K-5.
♦
All students, grades K-12, may pack a cold lunch containing nut products. Those meals should be
eaten in the cafeteria.
♦
Individual daily snacks brought by students should not contain nut butters or pieces of nuts if they
will be eaten outside of the cafeteria.
♦
Food items brought for treats should be commercially prepared with an intact ingredient label
listing allergy information and should not contain peanuts or tree nuts. Products with labels
indicating the food was prepared on shared equipment or processed in the same plant will not be
limited.
♦
The removal of nut-containing ingredients and latex from the classroom environment is
encouraged at all grade levels.
As a district, we understand these new guidelines can impact how your child eats snacks and meals at
school. We appreciate your cooperation and assistance with the new guidelines that continue to keep
all students safe within the D.C. Everest Area School District.
If you have any further questions regarding these upcoming changes, please feel free to connect with
your building principal and/or your school nurse.

It was fun because we got to see how they tap the tree to get
the sap. Ty Gadke
I liked trying the maple candy and learning how to get sap from
the tree. Victoria Carr
Sisibasquat is what other Native Americans yelled to each other
when sap started flowing. This told them they should tap their
trees. Dan Bosi
I learned how you can tell if a maple
tree is big enough to tap—you have
to hug it and your fingers shouldn’t
touch. Jade Granza
I liked trying the maple syrup
candy. It tasted like caramel but sweeter. Malia
Baregi
It was fun! We tasted sap. I don’t want to square dance ever
again! Ma%hew Hughes
I learned that 90% of what comes
out of the trees is water and 10% is
sugar. Alivia Niewolny
The school forest was cool
because I liked seeing how
the syrup got made. I also
liked that my mom came with. Harley Denzine-Kasat
