Hello parents/guardians,
Fidget spinners are making their way into classrooms here at Silver Stream. In a few situations, they can be appropriately used as a fidget toy for a few of our students. The majority of time, they are a distraction from learning and students are asked to put them away during class time. If your child brings a fidget spinner to school, we would appreciate your support at home in letting your child know that the spinner should be stored safely in a knapsack during class time. Please ensure that your child understands that if a fidget spinner is brought to school, it is at risk of becoming lost/misplaced. Unfortunately there will be no time given to assist in finding lost spinners.
We have also had incidents of students buying or "renting" fidget spinners from other students. Teachers are monitoring this but please ensure that your child does not have money to bring to school and is not buying or renting fidget spinners. Generally, students should not bring money to school.
Thank you for your support and understanding.
