FIDGETS/SPINNERS
Some students are still bringing in their fidget devices to school. Unless the student has a diagnosed learning disability and the requirement of a fidget during class is in their IPP or IEP, the device will be taken from the student as Administration has advised they are not to be in school! They are not permitted at snack, lunch or during the after school program.
Thank you for your co-operation.
