Reminder: Gum & Candy

Good morning,

1. Chewing gum is not allowed at school.  Its use disrupts instruction, poses a health hazard, and improper disposal creates serious custodial and health problems. Continued chewing gum on campus may result in a referral for beautification or detention.

2. A small amount of candy, a couple of pieces for yourself, can be enjoyed at recess or lunchtime, but not during class. Wrappers must be thrown away in the garbage. Lollipops are not allowed to be eaten on campus.

3. Candy is not to be widely distributed or sold to classmates. If large amounts of candy are shared outside of class, it will be confiscated, and the student may receive a referral to the office.

4. Finally, food, including gum and candy, is not allowed on the blacktop or field, especially lollipops and gum. They are a choking hazard. Eat your food at the tables before going to play on the blacktop.

Thank you for your cooperation,

Buzz Reminder: Crosswalks

Good morning,

For your safety, please use the crosswalks on Eucalyptus or Ralston when crossing the street near the school. Riders must walk bikes and scooters. Jaywalking is unsafe, as drivers don’t expect you to cross in the middle of the road. Also, do not look down at your phone when crossing the street or using crosswalks. You need to look both ways and be alert to oncoming cars. Lastly, do not get dropped off at Chateau; there is too much traffic.

The crossing guards are there to keep you safe, so please be respectful.
