Teachers Corner: We have continued to notice instances where scholars are bringing, sharing, and chewing gum in class and on school premises. This behavior is disruptive and goes against the established rules of our school (Family Handbook p. 112).

 

Chewing gum not only creates a distraction in the classroom but also poses a potential safety and hygiene concern. In order to maintain a conducive learning environment and uphold the standards within our school community, we must enforce stricter measures regarding this matter. Beginning Monday, October 7th any scholar found chewing gum or sharing gum with others will earn a lunch detention.

 

We kindly request your support in reinforcing the importance of adhering to school rules and expectations, including those regarding the consumption of gum. By working together, we can ensure that our scholars understand the significance of following these guidelines and contribute to a positive and respectful atmosphere at school.

 

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding in this matter. Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact the lower school leadership team.
