Randolph School’s End of the Week Notes for December 14, 2007

Celebrations!

Happy Birthday to Patrick Neilly on Dec. 29 and Jill Tomes on Dec. 30! Patrick gets the “Fast Friends” parking spot for Dec. 17-21 and Jill for Jan. 3-4.

Congratulations, Randolph Staff, for your attention to fire safety. Lincoln’s Fire Marshall Rick Campos toured Randolph on Friday, December 14^th and was very impressed with our school! He specifically commented on equipment appropriately plugged directly into outlets or approved power strips, no hazardous cords, and no prohibited appliances in classrooms. Thank you all for your actions to keep our children safe.

Please note.

From Dr. Becky Wild, Director of Student Services, LPS:

“Most parents and kids know that normal CO2, spring, or piston type BB and pellet guns that shoot a steel or lead projectile fall under the areas of prohibited student conduct. The past few years, inexpensive plastic pellet/BB guns have become popular with many kids. Many of these shoot a plastic type BB or pellet. These airsoft guns may be powered by spring, CO2, or battery and are sold at a variety of locations such sporting goods stores as well as convenience or drug stores such as Walgreens, OSCO, etc. Please ensure that parents as well as all students are aware that these airsoft BB/pellet guns fall within the areas of prohibited student conduct and they are not allowed in schools. Students found possessing, using, or transmitting one or more of these BB/pellet guns will be in violation of paragraph "F" and/or "S" of the LPS Areas of Prohibited Student Conduct.”
