South Windsor Public Schools

The school is committed to providing a safe environment for students with food allergies and to support parents regarding food allergy management. The State Department of Education has created guidelines for establishing plans for the management of students with life-threatening food allergies and glycogen storage disease. Substitutions to the regular meal provided by the school will be made for students who are unable to eat school meals because of their disabilities, when that need is certified in writing by a physician.
