PLEASE NOTE: The purpose of each student brining his/her own pencil case is to promote responsibility and care for their belongings. We remind parents, to make sure that their children always have the necessary material to work. Also, if the student constantly and carelessly breaks or looses instruments or materials belonging to the School, they he/she must replace them. The parents' collaboration in this matter is a valuable reinforcement to ensure that the student appreciates the importance of taking care of their belongings and appreciates their real value.
