Food Allergies and Special Dietary Needs We recognize the critical importance of our approach to supporting students and families who manage food allergy issues every day and work closely with the families of students who have food allergies and medical conditions that require a modification to their menu. Our approach involves coordination between parents and guardians, school nurses, school administrators, and foodservice professionals in the school’s/district’s food allergy and medical conditions protocol. If you would like your child to receive meal accommodations for food allergies or a medical condition impacting the diet, please ensure that you submit the required documentation to your child's school nurse and that you receive confirmation from the school nurse/ foodservice director that documentation has been received and a modification plan is in place. To modify the school meal, we must have a written Medical Statement on file signed by a licensed medical provider (physician, physician assistant, or nurse practitioner). The statement must identify the following: · Information about the child’s impairment that is sufficient for understanding how it restricts the child’s diet, · An explanation of what must be done to accommodate the child’s disability, and · If appropriate, the food(s) to be omitted, texture modifications, and recommended substitutions. For any children who are currently receiving meal accommodations, please contact Sara Day at sday@rcsd.k12.in.us to review the meal accommodation plan, which may require additions or amendments based on the ongoing supply chain issues. As part of our protocol, café managers review food labels for foods used to produce special meals daily. We may encounter situations where product substitutions are made that contain different allergens or have a different nutritional profile than our usual menu items. As a result, we may need to provide a meal that is different than previously identified for students with special dietary needs to ensure that the meal served to them remains in adherence to their needs as outlined in their medical forms. While we have posted signs in the cafeteria encouraging students with food allergies or other dietary concerns to speak up, we encourage you to remind your child to be sure to check with the cafeteria manager regarding product substitutions that may not be reflected in the posted menu. We will make every attempt to update Nutrislice in real-time, but please do not solely rely on nutrition or allergen information on Nutrislice to accommodate allergies or medical conditions in the event of last-minute menu changes. If you have any questions or concerns regarding your student’s allergies or dietary needs, please don’t hesitate to reach out to your school nurse. We are committed to providing safe meals for all students. If you have questions or need more information, please contact me at the number below or the Food Service office at 765-379-2990 ext 319. Thank you, Sara Day Director, Food Services 765-379-2990 ext 319
