Epipen Notifications
In English
California Education Code 49414 authorizes school districts to provide auto-injectors to trained personnel to provide emergency medical assistance to individuals experiencing an anaphylactic reaction. Anaphylaxis is a rapid and severe response caused by insect bites, food, medications, latex materials, exercise, or, in rare cases, unknown causes. This is a life-threatening allergic condition requiring immediate treatment. Administering epinephrine to students during a medical emergency can help ensure student health and safety at school. Therefore, the Hickman Community Charter District has adopted a standing order policy to provide lifesaving epinephrine to unidentified students experiencing an anaphylactic reaction and in need of such treatment. This policy states that a credentialed or licensed school nurse, or trained, unlicensed school personnel, under the direct or indirect supervision of the credentialed school nurse (or health supervisor), may administer epinephrine in the form of an epinephrine auto-injector during a life-threatening allergic reaction. The epinephrine auto-injector delivers a single, sterile, pre-measured dose of epinephrine rapidly by direct injection through the skin. ** If parents/guardians do not wish their child to receive this treatment, they must indicate this in writing within two weeks of the start of the new school year.

Healthy Treats for Classroom Celebrations
Snacks served during the school day or in after-school programs should make a positive contribution to children’s diets and health, with an emphasis on serving fruits and vegetables, whole grains, as the primary snacks and milk, water or 100% juice as the primary beverages. School staff will encourage parents/guardians or other volunteers to support the District’s nutrition education program by choosing nutritional quality when selecting any snacks which they may donate for occasional class parties. Schools will limit celebrations that involve food during the school day to no more than one party per class per month. Class parties or celebrations shall be held after the lunch period and only foods that meet or exceed state and federal nutritional standards can be served. Ideas for non-food celebrations: Not every party has to involve food! Consider talking to your child’s teacher about other ways to celebrate student birthdays, such as… Bring in his/her favorite game or book or a special art project to share with the class Put together a “goody bag” of non-edible treats such as glow sticks, balloons, stickers, tattoos, etc. Make him or her line leader or star student or get¬ting some sort of special privilege for the day. Be creative! Foods: Fresh fruit ~ cut up or whole Fruit kabobs Yogurt tubes/cups served with fresh fruit Fruit roll-ups Healthy granola bars Graham crackers Apple slices with topping Animal crackers Apple sauce Popcorn Baked Chips Gold Fish Crackers Whole Grain Muffins Whole Grain Cookies Cereals that contains whole grains and are low in sugar All baked snacks must be packaged and purchased from a store or bakery.

FitFuture Healthy Snack Ideas
Nutrition experts find themselves split on the issue of commercially prepared “100 Calorie Snacks”. While some argue that having pre-portioned snacks is convenient, and helps adults and children enjoy a treat while controlling portion size; the other side of the issue points to the low nutrient value of these snacks and the wastefulness of the packaging. ANother complaint is that despite the conveniently pre-portioned packages, many people report eating multiple servings anyways. While it is certainly fine to enjoy treats in moderation, we must remember what it means to eat an overall healthy diet. Good nutrition is not just about the number or calories, but the quality of those calories. In other words, to eat well you must consider food choice (quality) as well as portion control (quantity) the great majority of the time. Here are 20 ideas for healthy do-it-yourself 100 calorie snacks that require no compromise: 1 large celery stalk with 2 Tbsp. nut butter 1 cup raw veggies with ¼ cup fat free ranch dressing 28 grapes ½ cup unsweetened applesauce with a slice of toast cut into sticks for dipping 10 cashews 1 mozzarella string cheese with 2 wheat crackers 6-8 oz. cup of low-fat yogurt 2 Tbsp. hummus and 12 grape tomatoes ½ cup plain oatmeal with ¼ cup fresh berries 1 medium banana ½ cup 1% cottage cheese with 5 strawberries 1 cup mango chunks 8 corn tortilla chips with ¼ cup salsa ½ apple with 2 tsp. nut butter 12 almonds 1 cup blueberries 6 wheat crackers with 2 tsp. almond butter 1 medium apple with 1.2 oz. cheddar cheese 3 Tbsp. raisins 7 baby carrots with 2 tsp. nut butter
