Dear Haas Families,
We are asking for your help with an issue we have recently been experiencing at school involving squishy toys (NeeDohs, stress balls, and similar items). While these items may seem harmless, many have been breaking or popping during the school day, causing the sticky gel inside to get on classroom materials, furniture, carpets, and student belongings. Unfortunately, this has also created distractions and interruptions to learning.
Additionally, while many of these products are marketed as “non-toxic,” the gel inside these toys is not intended to come into contact with classroom materials or skin if the toys rupture. We have experienced damage to classroom materials and student belongings after these items have popped open. Due to the mess, distractions, and potential safety concerns they create, squishies and similar toys are no longer permitted at school, including during recess. Please remind your student not to bring these items to school moving forward.
If a student continues to bring these items to school after today, it may result in disciplinary consequences, including a major referral for defiance.
Of course, if your child has a documented need or school-approved plan for a fidget or sensory tool to support focus or self-regulation, they may continue to use an approved item at school. However, the item must be safe for the school environment and not able to create a mess or disruption if damaged. Please also ensure the item is clearly labeled with your child’s name.
We truly appreciate your support and partnership in helping us maintain a safe, clean, and focused learning environment for all students as we finish the school year strong!
Thank you,
Mrs. Cummings
