NOTICE REGARDING HAIR BEADS

Dear Parents,

This letter addresses the wearing of hair beads in school. We've noticed an increase in children wearing hair beads, and we want to ensure everyone understands our guidelines, which are primarily focused on safety.

We fully support and celebrate the diverse cultural and religious practices within our school community. We understand that for many families, hair beads hold deep significance and are an important part of their heritage.

However, we've had instances where hair beads have come loose and been found on the floor. These loose beads can present a choking hazard, particularly for our younger pupils. The safety and well-being of all children are always our top priority.

Therefore, we ask that hair beads only be worn by children for whom they hold a significant cultural or religious purpose. If your child does wear hair beads for these reasons, please ensure that they are securely fastened in their hair to prevent them from coming loose during the school day.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping us maintain a safe environment for all students while continuing to respect and support individual family practices.

Sincerely,
