Health Concerns. Severe Allergic Reactions The incidence of life-threatening allergies in children continues to rise. Of particular concern is an allergic reaction that has the potential to result in anaphylaxis, a condition that includes symptoms such as difficulty breathing and/or a drop-in blood pressure, which can be fatal. An anaphylactic reaction may be induced by allergens such as food, insect stings or bites, latex and medications as well as a result of an idiopathic or exercise-induced means. Maryvale Preparatory School is committed to working with families, students and physicians to provide a safe and healthy environment. Although our campus is not an “allergy-free” environment, we strive to keep our students as safe as possible though several measures. Upon receiving information regarding a severe allergy, as documented by a health care provider, a plan will be developed to address emergency treatment needs, the roles and responsibilities of the student and family, as well as ongoing education of the Maryvale community. Students have the option of sitting at a table in the Dining Room designated as peanut/nut-free. Parents and guardians are encouraged to check the menu located on the Maryvale website or contact our Food Services Director for further discussion of our menu options. Health Forms The Maryvale Immunization form, and a physical examination form are required for ALL Maryvale students. Xxxxxxxx no longer accepts religious exemptions.

Physical exams must be completed between March 1, 2021 and July 15, 2021 and loaded to Magnus by August 1, 2021. No student may attend classes, tryouts, rehearsals or practices until forms have been received and reviewed by the school nurse.
