While we appreciate the fact that most children are willing to share, bringing toys to school creates nothing but distractions for students and staff, as well as causing problems in the classroom and at recess for everyone involved.
Toys get broken, lost, stolen, and kids fight over them, not to mention the additional safety hazards that some toys create at our school.
Toys are not allowed at school, with the notable exception of things brought to share with classes for show-and-tell, as invited by the teacher.
These things should be checked in with the classroom teacher first thing in the morning and picked up on the way out that same day.
Middle Canyon Elementary School will not be held liable for any damage caused to items brought onto our campus that may get lost, stolen, or broken.
All toys brought to school—with the exception of those things checked in with the classroom teacher in advance for show-and-tell as described above—will be confiscated and the parents will be required to pick them up.
Please help us to create a safe and positive learning environment for all students.
