Walton High School

Note to parents/guardians from Superintendent A. Russell Hughes:

Please be advised that the various schools in the Walton County School District will not accept deliveries of floral arrangements and/or gifts for students in recognition of Valentine's Day. This change in policy was implemented 21 years ago and is being continued. While we understand that you may have a desire to send something to your child, we have found that the massive number of deliveries on this day in previous years has created a disruption of the learning environment.

I encourage you to continue whatever personal expression you may want to do for your child. However, be sure to inform the florist/gift shop that you will pick up the ordered item or arrange to have it delivered to your home.

Thank you for your understanding regarding this decision and our desire to protect the educational environment.

***************************************

Con el presente les queremos avisar que las escuelas en el Distrito Escolar de Walton County no aceptaran entregas de arreglos florales y/o regalos para los alumnos en la ocasion del dia de San Valentin. Se efectuo esta politica hace vientiuno ano y sigue vigente. Mientras comprendemos que pudiera desear mandarle algo a su hijo, hemos visto que la entrega tan enorme en ese dia nos ha interrumpido el horario y el ambiente escolar.

Les animamos a continuar con cualquier expresion personal para el dia de San Valentin con sus hijos. Sin embargo, asegurense avisar al florista que usted pasara a recoger el pedido o que se lo entreguen a su casa.

Gracias por comprender esta situacion referente a la decision y nuestro deseo de proteger el ambiente educativo.
