No Glass Water Bottles Please!
Unfortunately, we have had several students drop glass water bottles at school, causing a safety issue due to broken glass on a slippery floor!
Students should bring only plastic or metal water bottles to school.
Also, please remember to label your child's water bottles and lunchboxes, because they are easy to leave behind, and some of the insulated bottles are quite expensive.
