Dear TMSA Parents and Guardians,
As we approach the upcoming holidays, it is important to remind you that candy, desserts, baked goods (store-bought or homemade), or any other edible items may not be sold or distributed at school or on the bus unless approved in advance by the school administration.
Per the FCS Student Code of Conduct, students who do not adhere to this expectation are subject to disciplinary
action for violation 7A: Failure to Follow Rules and all candy or food items will be confiscated. Please
discuss this expectation and possible consequences with your student(s) as this will be taken very
seriously. This is due to recent national and state reports about students sharing edible items and
synthetic medications with other students that contain very harmful substances.
Please know that taking this measure will help us maintain a safe environment for all students. You can
help us protect your student(s) by requesting that they not eat anything given to them by another
person, anything that they have not brought from your home or anything not in its original sealed
package.
Thank you for your continued partnership in keeping our students safe at school!
Dear TMSA Students,
In order to keep everyone safe at school, please do not bring any candy, cookies, cupcakes or food to
school to share with your friends or class for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas or other winter
holidays unless your teacher or Principal gives your parent or guardian permission.
Please keep yourself safe at school by never eating something given to you by another student or by
eating anything that is not in a sealed store-bought wrapper. There can be things in candy and food that
we do not know where it came from that can hurt us. Any food or candy brought to school from home
will be taken by your teacher as again, we need to keep everyone safe here at school.
