Items Not Allowed in School

Students come to school to learn. When they bring “toys” or electronic games, it interferes with learning. Students are to bring to school only those items which are needed for learning. Students, who bring non-required items such as: electronic games, I-Pods, MP3 players, CD players, trading cards, laser pointers, playground equipment and/or toys etc., may have these items confiscated. Families will be called and will be given an opportunity to come to the school to pick up the item. If these items are brought to school and stolen, the school is not responsible. Personal cell phone usage during school hours is not permitted by students and phones must be kept in the students’ backpacks or locked up in the child’s classroom. Teachers may grant special permission for usage if deemed necessary; however, teachers may collect a phone if it is being used inappropriately during school hours. families will be allowed to pick-up the phone from the office. The school is not responsible for lost, stolen or damaged phones.

Fidget Spinners

Fidgets are not a new craze, and have been advertised to improve focus and concentration. However, most students do not need a device such as this to focus on their instruction. In our experience, most Tointon students are playing with their spinner and NOT paying attention to the instruction. If a student needs some type of a fidget, a behavioral plan will be created with guidelines to ensure the fidget helps, not hurts, the student's attention. If a student without a specific behavioral plan brings a spinner fidget to school, and has it out during class, that spinner fidget will be confiscated and be awaiting pickup by the child's parent. 

Posession of the following items is NEVER acceptable and will result in consequences such as suspencion and/or expulsion:
