RESTROOM PRIVILEGES
There is a TickTok challenge going on. Students are challenged to "steal from school" or "steal from your teacher". Students are vandalizing and stealing soap dispensers, paper towel holders, computers, tablets, signage, etc. They are trashing restroom which causes schools to limit/restrict restroom use. Please check your child's social media accounts and their belongings. Students who vandalize the school or steal school property will receive severe consequences. Let's keep our school clean, respect our school property and keep it presentable for us to enjoy.
BACKPACKS
Per school policy, all students are to carry a mesh or see through (clear) backpack for security purposes. Starting Monday, backpacks that don't fit this criteria will be confiscated and parents will have to come to the school to pick them up. If you are financially challenged, please contact the school for backpack assistance.
