Allergies 

Students that attend our schools may have multiple allergies. Many of our students have doctor orders for bendadryl, epinephrine (as an epi-pen or auvi-q) or a combination of both benadryl and epinephrine. Some students at the middle school and high school, with the permission and support of their physician and parents, self carry their epinephrine auto-injectors. 

District policy does require a yearly physician order for all the medications (including benadryl). If a student plans to self carry, then the doctor must indicate that on the orders. Many physicians use their own forms. You can access our form HERE. More information and more forms can be found on the Medications page.

Here is the link to Londonderry School District Dining Services for information about the district lunch program: https://www.londonderry.org/departments/dining including accommodations needed for food allergies. 

Special Dietary Requests

If your child (grades 1-12) requires special meals or has a meal restriction (allergy), please have a physician fill out the Special Meals Prescription Form and return it to the Krystle Connell, Dining Services Director at kconnell@londonderry.org. Please note that a generic doctor's note is not in alignment with the Department of Agriculture's mandated paperwork. 

This form must be completed annually to ensure that your child has access to a special meal program and/or the allergy/intolerance is monitored. Please allow for up to four weeks for dining services to process a form so as to ensure the allergy/intolerance/special meals are organized and our staff is trained to monitor your child's specific needs. 

Note: All of Londonderry Dining Services run "nut conscious" kitchens. We do not cook with any peanut or tree nut products. At the elementary school sites, all products are peanut and tree nut free. At the high school and middle school some of our packaged foods do contain nut products. We do not guarantee that our products at any level are from nut free facilities.
