The new form will ensure that your child’s allergy needs are recorded and on file with the Food Service Department. Please note that this form is in addition to the medication form that you may have completed if you child has an epi-pen or other medication in the school nurse’s office.

The completed form should be returned to the Food Service Department in the District Administration Building at 631 East McMurray Road, McMurray, PA 15317. Completed forms may also be faxed to 724-941-6565. The form can be downloaded below.
