Reminder: Lost/Stolen Items

Parents, we have had some issues with stolen items at AJHS, as such just a friendly reminder not to have your student bring any valuables from home, either sentimental or of monetary value. AJHS will not be responsible for those items. Per MISD policy,

“A lost and found collection box is located in the campus office. A student who loses an item should check the lost and found box. The district discourages bringing personal items of high monetary value to school, as the district is not responsible for lost or stolen items. The campus will dispose of lost and found items at the end of each semester.

Recordatorio: Objetos perdidos y/o robados

Padres,

Hemos tenido incidentes ocurriendo con robos de cosas personales en AJHS, asi que esto es solo un recordatorio amistoso de que sus alumnos no debería traer ningún objeto de valor de casa, ya sea sentimental o de valor monetario. AJHS no estará responsable de esos artículos. Según la política de Midland ISD,

“Hay una caja de recolección de objetos perdidos y encontrados en la oficina del campus. Un estudiante que pierde un artículo debe marcar la casilla de objetos perdidos y encontrados. El distrito desaconseja traer artículos personales de alto valor monetario a la escuela, ya que el distrito no es responsable por artículos perdidos o robados. El campus se deshará de los artículos perdidos y encontrados al final de cada semestre.
