Hallway Safety
It's that time of year where students come in to school with lots of gear! If you have students who place their things in lockers, please remind them to make sure all their stuff gets in their lockers.
I understand that I sound like an old grump when I send a reminder about this, however, it is a safety concern. In addition, we have students who need assistance with walking and should have a clear hallway to walk down.
Thanks for reminding the kids!
