注意：饮食过敏安全准则
敬爱的家长及监护人：
此信是要向您告知，维多利亚州绝大多数的学校都有对食物过敏的学生就读。本校也有若干名学生对食物有严重过敏。对于这些孩子来说，即使误食非常少量的含有过敏源的食物，都可能造成危急生命的严重后果。
我们学校有很多年幼的孩子习惯于用他们的手和嘴来探索周围新奇的环境。他们也时常用小手来触摸自己的脸蛋。为了减少可能造成过敏隐患的机会，我校现执行以下安全准则。
1.
请不要携带鸡蛋，坚果，花生，花生酱或任何含有此类成分的食物，让孩子在课间休息时在教室中作为点心享用。以此可以避免孩子们在分享食物的过程中，意外接触潜在过敏源。
2.
任何涉及包含坚果，花生或花生壳的课程（如手工课）将不会允许在课堂中或在校园内实施。请不要和您的孩子在教室中完成此类课程。
3.
年终联谊和生日聚会是孩子们最为期待的日子。然而，对于有过敏体制的孩子们来说，这是一个警钟敲响的艰难时刻。如果您想带上您亲手制作的糕点，请注意使用食物的配料成分并将所有配料写在包装盒的外面。当您准备丰盛美食的时候，请留心厨房的清洁卫生，每一次食物接触到的器皿及厨具都务必要清洗干净，以免交叉感染的情况发生。
4.
以食用鸡蛋，坚果，花生，花生酱或含有此类成分食物作为点心的孩子。用完点心后一定要用肥皂洗手并用清水冲洗干净。只用清水洗手是不够的！同理，如果您的孩子以食用鸡蛋，坚果，花生，花生酱或含有此类成分的食物作为早餐，在前往学校前，请您务必配合确认孩子的双手用肥皂和清水清洗干净。
对于我们大家来说，这都是一个学习和适应的过程。但我们相信您会理解这项安全准则是如此的重要！我们所做的一切都是为了确保每一个在我校读书的孩子能够在一个安全和互助的环境下健康成长。
感恩您为孩子们所付出的一切。

ATTENTION: FOOD ALLERGY SAFETY GUIDELINES
Dear Parent/Guardian,
We are writing to let you know that like most schools in Victoria,
we have a number of students in our school that have potentially
life-threatening food allergies. Children with food allergies can have
life-threatening reactions with some exposures to even tiny amounts of
allergen.
Our school has many young children who are still exploring their
environment with their hands and mouths and frequently touch their face. In
order to decrease their chance of allergic reactions, we are therefore putting
the following safety guidelines into effect:
1.
Please do not bring in any eggs, nuts, peanuts, peanut butter
or related products to be eaten as snacks in the classroom and during
break times. The purpose is to prevent children from developing allergic
reactions through food-sharing.
2.
Classroom projects that involve
nuts, peanuts or peanut shells
(art projects) will not be conducted during class or within school grounds.
Please do not send any of these projects into the classroom with your child.
3.
End of year parties and
birthday parties are a special time for children. However, it can be a
difficult time for the food-allergic child. If you would like to send in baked
goods, please be careful about the ingredients. Please list the ingredients on
the outside of the package. When preparing “treats”, please pay close attention
to cross-contamination in your kitchen. To prevent cross-contamination, it is
necessary that cooking utensils and preparation surfaces be carefully washed
after each food is touched.
4.
Children who ate eggs, nuts, peanuts, peanut butter or
related products for snack should clean their hands with soap and water.
Water alone does not do the trick! Similarly, if your child ate eggs, nuts, peanuts, peanut butter or
related products for breakfast, we would greatly appreciate your help
in making sure that his/her hands are washed with soap and water before leaving
for school.
This is a learning process for all of us, but we trust that you
understand how deeply important it is to adhere to these safety guidelines and ensure
that every student in our school is able to learn in a safe and supportive environment.
Thank you for your commitment to our children.
