A Message from the Front Office:
|
In an effort to minimize class disruption, the front office will no longer entertain the delivering of forgotten items after 7:40am (lunches, homework folders, sweatshirts, headbands, water bottles, hair bows, and hair ties; to name a few).
We need to instill responsibility and self-sufficiency through the natural consequences of forgetting. Our goal as educators and parents is to equip students for challenges that life brings. Allowing students to fail and problem solve on their own will teach them valuable lessons that they will in turn use throughout their youth and into adulthood.
Thank you for your support in teaching your student self-responsibility.
