Dear Parents/Guardians,
Our school will be hosting a Flu Clinic on October 3, 2025, from 9:00 am to 11:30 am. The best way to protect your child and family from the flu is to get the flu vaccine each year.
The flu vaccine is safe, effective, and helps:
Reduce school absences
Prevent spreading illness to others
Lower the risk of hospitalization and serious complications
Consent forms will be sent home or picked up from our front office and must be returned for your child to receive the vaccine at school.
If you have any questions, please contact: Mary Robbins, RN @ 501.402.4377
Thank you for helping us keep our school community healthy this flu season!
Sincerely,
Mary Robbins, RN

Guy Perkins School Policy Update: Peanut-Only Table at Lunch
To support the safety and inclusion of all students, Guy Perkins School is updating our cafeteria procedures regarding peanuts and peanut-containing products.
Effective September 1, 2025:
- A designated peanut-only table will be available in the cafeteria for students who bring peanut
butter or other peanut-containing items in their lunches.
- Students who bring non-peanut lunches will be seated at general cafeteria tables.
- This change ensures that students with peanut allergies have a safer environment during lunch while
still allowing families the choice to include peanut products in their child’s meals.
- Staff will continue to supervise the lunchroom and support students in following this policy.
Why this change?
We recognize the importance of protecting students with life-threatening allergies, while also respecting
family food choices. The peanut-only table balances these needs by reducing the risk of exposure for
students with allergies.
How families can help:
- If your child has a peanut allergy, please notify the school nurse so accommodations can be in place.
- If your child chooses to sit at the peanut-only table, please pack only peanut-containing lunches for
that day.
- Encourage your child to practice good hand washing after eating.
We appreciate your cooperation in maintaining a safe and inclusive environment in our cafeteria for all
students.
For questions, please don't hesitate to contact the Guy Perkins School Nurse or main office at (501) 679-3509.
