Dear Parents, As Valentine’s Day approaches, we are excited to celebrate this special day with our students! However, we kindly ask that parents refrain from sending Valentine’s Day deliveries, such as flowers, balloons, or gifts, to school. These items can cause distractions in the classroom, create logistical challenges, and may unintentionally hurt feelings if some students receive deliveries while others do not. Instead, we encourage families to celebrate with their children at home or participate in any classroom Valentine’s activities planned by the teachers. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in helping us maintain a positive and inclusive learning environment for all our students.
