Back-to-School Survey

As we wrap up a less-than-typical school year, we are already looking ahead to next year. The 2021-22 school year will be back to in-person learning for most, which means extra planning and preparation for food allergy families. We would love to hear from parents about how this past year went and what you are excited or concerned about for next year. Please take a few minutes to complete this survey.
