Labeling Personal Items
-
To help reduce lost items and ensure belongings make their way back to the right student, we strongly encourage families to write their child’s name on the inside of all personal items brought to school — including coats, jackets, sweaters, lunchboxes, backpacks, and water bottles.
- Items without names are much harder to return and often end up in the Lost and Found.
A permanent marker and a two-second scribble can save a whole lot of stress later!
