Spotlight: Classroom Safety

The Detroit Free Press online featured an article with tips from the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI) about how to avoid allergens and allergic reactions at school. ACAAI urges parents to tell their children to stay away from potential allergens, such as chalk dust, classroom pets, bees and wasps. They also urge students to pack lunch to avoid food allergens and to know the signs of allergic reactions.

With PublicSchoolWORKS’ Student Medical Emergencies course, teachers and administrators learn how to deal with medical emergencies, including food allergies and asthma. The course gives information about the symptoms of various student emergencies and provides step-by-step instructions for helping a student in distress.
