Families,
Starting tomorrow headphones and earbuds are not permitted at school. These devices can become a significant distraction during the school day, interfering with students’ focus and overall educational experience.
To ensure that all students remain engaged and attentive in their learning, we kindly ask for your support in reinforcing this rule. Please ensure that your child leaves these items at home.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in prioritizing your child's education.
Sincerely,
Mr. Filiccia & Ms. Hoekstra
