Dear St. Giles Families,
We are so excited to see all of our Lions tomorrow morning! As a reminder, please use caution while driving if you are dropping off because many of our families walk on the first day and gather for photos. Don't forget to stop by the PTO Welcome Back Coffee tomorrow after the kids enter the building. We'll meet under the tent in the courtyard.
There are several important reminders your Lions will receive from their teachers tomorrow. Please take time this week to review our St. Giles Handbook. Please note that handbook updates include the uniform code, updated Archdiocese Attendance Policy and information regarding discussion of weapons. We take discussion of weapons seriously and appreciate your support in sharing this information with your child(ren).
Students in any grade level who discuss weapons or include weapons in written communications will be removed from class and a parent meeting will be requested. Any mention of weapons, specifically guns, is taken seriously and will be addressed immediately with parents regardless of the age of the student. Disciplinary action may follow after a parent meeting.
We know that TV, Social Media and video games often share and/or glorify the use of weapons but need all of our students to know that none of that has any place at school. Whether it is on the playground, in Kids Klub or the classroom, it has to be taken seriously. It is an important safety reminder for everyone that there is no "joking around" about weapons or violence.
