Cub parents and students, we want to inform you that, effective immediately, backpacks will no longer be allowed at school for the remainder of the year. This measure is being taken to ensure a safe and organized environment as we approach the end of the academic term. Students may still carry essential items such as school supplies and personal belongings in smaller bags or folders. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we work together to create the best possible environment for our students. Thank you! ๐๐ฏ
