Please remember that toys from home are not allowed on campus. While these items are labeled fidgets – their current use in the classroom does not enhance student engagement but detract. While some children benefit from specific classroom accommodations, these accommodations need to be discussed with your child’s teacher to ensure their use is appropriate and beneficial. Please support your child and their teacher by making certain that “spinners” remain at home unless their use has been discussed with the classroom teacher prior.
