| When personal items are brought to school,
they frequently get lost or broken. They can also cause disagreements
and hurt feelings, and distract children from the wealth of
materials and experiences available to them in the classrooms.
Please leave personal toys at home or in the car. Placing
these toys in your child's cubby is not an option. Here are
some examples of what not to bring: jewelry, games, action
figures, collectible cards, Barbie dolls, videos, video games,
violent books, play cell phones, etc.
Here are some suggestions for how to say no to your child
in a positive way, when your child wants to bring toys to
ICC:
“ICC has an agreement: Only one soft toy at school.”
“ICC has lots of school toys. This is a home toy.”
“What's your teacher's agreement about toys from
home?”
“Remember you already have your napping toy at school.”
“I will keep this toy safe for you at home or in
the car until you leave ICC.”
