❤️🎈 Valentine’s Day Reminder for Families 🎈❤️
As we celebrate Valentine’s Day, we want to remind families that students are not permitted to take balloons, glass vases, or any object that blocks the aisle/exits on the school bus. These items can create safety concerns and distractions during transportation.
Please do not send these types of gifts to school with your child. If you would like to surprise your student, we encourage small items that can easily fit inside their backpack. 💌🎁
