ISB Health Clinic: Allergen Awareness – no nuts and shellfish on campus

We have many students in school with severe allergies. Reactions can be fatal and can occur following ingestion, inhalation, and contact with many allergens especially nuts and shellfish.

On account of this, we have had a long-standing no nuts on campus policy and we are further extending this to no shellfish. We kindly request that no nuts or shellfish are brought onto campus or provided for trips.

Thank you very much for working with us to keep our community safe and well.
