[CabotCommunity] Gift Policy of Newton Schools

[Jo Doherty]

Each year the PTO is asked to send out this reminder to families:

 

Newton School's Gift Policy

 

As we enter into the holiday season, please remember the Newton School
Committee Policy:  "No teacher in the performance of regular duties shall
receive presents from the pupils under his or her direction."  Each year
families are reminded of this policy, and each year most families comply.
It is very natural for children and their families to want to acknowledge
and thank their teachers at holiday time.  Here are some suggestions:

 

1.  A note of appreciation to your child's teacher, or a card made by your
child, would be treasured.  

2. A homemade acknowledgement to your child's teacher or faculty member,
such as cookies or baked goods.

3.  You may wish to honor a teacher or staff member through a donation to
the Campaign for Cabot.  Checks should be made to the Cabot PTO, with a note
indicating that it is for the Campaign for Cabot.  This is a terrific way to
honor a teacher and support the parent-run enrichment programs at Cabot
School.

 

 

Please do not solicit money from families for class gifts.

If you need further clarification please speak with the Principal Marilynne
Quarcoo or your PTO Co-Presidents, Jo Doherty and Mary Kathryn Fallon.

 

Thank you for your cooperation.

 

Happy Holidays!!!

Share the joy!!!
