The return to face-to-face classes represents numerous emotional, psychological and academic challenges after the extensive period of virtual and hybrid classes. Keeping children within a healthy diet and without catching a cold is also a challenge, especially allergic children who, due to their condition, often have to miss school or go to the emergency room. To have an orientation and be able to deal with these issues, an Allergy Day will be held at the start of school activities on March 23 via zoom.

Sometimes because of their illness they are absent and other times the physical aspect of some allergic diseases such as dermatitis, can lead to a certain degree of rejection by peers or misunderstanding by teachers.
