Gifts Policy

While we are very appreciative of the high regard in which students and their families hold their teachers, we are concerned that student affection and gratitude be expressed in a manner that doesn’t divide families according to financial means. We do believe that it is best for all if gifts be a simple expression of thanks and affection. Therefore, we ask that gifts be restricted to very inexpensive and/or handmade items. We also suggest the alternative of a book being given to the library in honor of a teacher. We do ask that you not give gifts of significant monetary value. Our teachers always welcome your kind words and personal appreciation of their efforts.
