to the left; cars go to the right; bookbags on the table; no supplies, books, or homework out; exit caf
quietly using walking feet.
13. Any items brought or worn to school must respect learning and the safety of others. Some items that
distract learning are trendy items such as Silly Bands, toys, Bakugan, mp3 players, any handheld games,
etc. Therefore, we are asking students to leave these items at home. The only occasions these items will be
allowed in school are on Share Days, School Spirit Days, and Classroom Reward Days as directed by
school staff.
