📢 Reminder for Rome Families!

We are asking that all squishies stay at home and not be brought to school. We have had several brought to school that are being thrown at others, exploding, or being torn apart, which creates messes and can pose safety concerns.

When these items are thrown or broken apart, pieces can get into students’ eyes or mouths, creating a potential safety hazard. We also have students with a variety of allergies, so it is important that we are mindful of the materials and items being brought into our school.

Squishies can become a distraction and create safety concerns in the classroom, on the bus, and during recess. Our priority is keeping all of our students safe and healthy throughout the school day.

Please make sure all squishies stay at home. We appreciate your help and cooperation in keeping Rome a safe, clean, and positive place for everyone! 💚💛

Thank you!
