Dear Families,

Recently, we have seen an increase in toys being brought to school, including items that resemble weapons such as Nerf guns. While these toys may be fun and harmless at home, they can cause unnecessary concern, distractions, and confusion in a school setting. Even toy weapons can be frightening to some students and make it more difficult for staff to quickly determine whether a situation is safe.

For this reason, we kindly ask that all toys—especially those that look like weapons—remain at home. This includes Nerf guns, and any other items designed to resemble real or fantasy weapons. Keeping these items off campus helps ensure that our focus stays on learning, friendship, and safety.

Thank you for partnering with us to keep our school a safe and welcoming place for everyone.

Regular school attendance is essential for student learning and success. Now that we are in the middle of cold and flu season, we understand that students may need to stay home when they are ill.

If your child is absent due to illness for five (5) or more consecutive school days, please provide the school with a doctor’s note to excuse the absence for that timeframe.

If you have any questions about attendance or need support, please don’t hesitate to contact the school office. Thank you for your partnership in supporting student learning and well-being.

When to Keep Your Child Home from School

• Are too sick to take part in normal school activities

• Could create an unsafe or unhealthy environment for others
