Classroom donations of disinfecting wipes, paper towels, tissues, and hand sanitizer would be greatly appreciated. Students should not bring gel pens, permanent markers, candy/gum, toys, slime, stuffed animals, crafts, or electronic devices. All students will receive a planner book to record assignments.

Birthday Treats - In an effort to focus on instructional time and ensure the safety of all students with allergies, we recommend not bringing in treats for birthday celebrations. As a school, we will acknowledge birthdays during our morning announcements, and students will receive a snack coupon to celebrate their birthday.

Water bottles - We encourage water bottles to be no larger than 18 oz, with secure lids and no straws. This will help prevent spills and ensure that students can stay hydrated throughout the day. Only water is permitted in the bottles.

The complete dress code policy is available on the district website (www.panthervalley.org) for your review. Please read it carefully to ensure your child will be in compliance when he/she returns to school in August.
