We do not interrupt classes for student messages or for the delivery of forgotten items such as lunches, money, keys, books, homework, book bags, etc.
Students are encouraged to remember to bring needed items with them to school. In addition, we do not deliver flowers, gifts, or fast food to classrooms.
Students may not receive any deliveries from a third party (friends, outside vendors, restaurants, etc.) at any time during the school day, including lunchtime.
Interruption of classes for deliveries interferes with instruction. Please help us protect the learning environment. P.10 Student Handbook
