Sending a celiac kid to school takes more than a safe lunchbox. It takes a teacher who understands, a plan the school actually has to follow, and a family that knows the difference between the two.
This kit is everything I hand to our own school team each year — written from both sides of my life, as a board-certified nurse practitioner and as a celiac mom.
What’s inside (11 pages)
- Know Your 504 Rights — how a 504 plan differs from an IHP, why the difference matters, and what to do if you’re steered away from one (with links to Celiac Disease Foundation and Boston Children’s Hospital resources)
- 504 conversation checklist — 17 accommodation topics to raise with your school team, from private bathroom access to make-up work without penalty
- Fill-in teacher letter — hand it over in week one
- Celiac 101 for school staff — a one-pager for aides, substitutes, and lunch monitors
- Lunchbox cards — cut out and tuck in the lunchbox
- Class party swap plan — including the safe-treat stash system that has saved us more times than I can count
- Food activity note-home template for teachers
- Caregiver cheat sheet for babysitters and grandparents
Formats: US Letter and A4, each in print and type-in fillable versions (44 form fields). Instant download; print what you need, every school year.
An educational and organizational tool — not medical or legal advice. 504 eligibility is determined through your school’s formal process.
