The MS Student Handbook states that, “Gum chewing is not allowed.” Unfortunately, recently, we have had a surge in students chewing gum during the school day. This has led to gum finding its way onto shoe bottoms and on school furniture. Unfortunately, this has added to our cleaning team’s work, which we do not want. Scraping someone else’s gum off of tables, chairs, and bleachers in the gym is not pleasant work.
We are communicating reminders about these guidelines to students, but wanted to keep parents in the loop as well for consistency. Please help communicate to your children that gum is not allowed at school. Your help is appreciated.
