As Valentine's Day nears, Clovis Municipal Schools has issued a reminder to families regarding the policy on deliveries to schools. The district emphasizes maintaining a focused and safe learning environment by discouraging the delivery of gifts such as flowers and balloons during school hours.

The district outlined several reasons for this request. "Safety and Responsibility: The district cannot assume responsibility for deliveries, nor for any lost or damaged items," the statement read. Additionally, transportation rules prohibit these items on school buses, necessitating alternative arrangements if delivered.

The statement further highlighted that "school-day deliveries can interfere with teaching and learning," emphasizing the importance of minimizing disruptions to maintain an engaged academic atmosphere.

Each campus will provide specific plans for celebrating Valentine's Day in a manner that ensures it remains special and memorable for students. Families are encouraged to support local businesses by considering treats and gifts that can be enjoyed outside school hours.

Clovis Municipal Schools expressed gratitude for the community's cooperation in fostering a productive educational experience. "Thank you for your understanding and cooperation as we work together to provide a safe, focused, and enriching educational experience for all students."
