Reminder: Drinks in Classrooms
As we kick off the new school year, we kindly ask that students do not bring sugary drinks or milky drinks into the classroom. Water bottles are welcome throughout the day, and students are welcome to enjoy juice or other beverages during lunch.
Many of our classrooms have been updated with fresh carpeting, and we want to keep them clean, fresh, and free of any pests that can be attracted by spilled beverages. If a student brings a sugary or milky drink into the classroom, they will be asked to throw it away to help us maintain a safe, healthy, and welcoming learning environment for all students. 🌟
Thank you for your cooperation and support!
