Attention Parents
As we approach the end of the year, maintaining a safe and positive learning environment continues to be our top priority.
Recently, some students have been bringing toys to school that are not suitable for the educational setting. While we understand the excitement that toys can bring, it's important to ensure that they align with our school's values and district guidelines.
Inappropriate toys can not only disrupt the learning process but also pose safety concerns and create distractions in the classroom. Therefore, we kindly request your cooperation in ensuring that your child does not bring toys to school that are violent, give the appearance of a weapon or are otherwise disruptive to the learning environment.
For more information please see the Garland ISD Code Of Conduct.
Working together we can ensure that we end this school year strong!
Thank you!!
