The San Juan Unified School District is aware that allergic reactions, typically caused by exposure to substances where a student is allergic, can be life threatening, resulting in anaphylaxis. Typical allergy sources are: food like tree nuts, environment like grass or dust, insects like bee stings, medicines like penicillin, and latex. The risk of accidental exposure to these allergens can be reduced in the school setting when school staff, students, parents/guardians, and physicians work together to minimize risks and provide a safe environment.
