Parental Guidance
Our "Letter to Santa" class is designed to be festive, fun, and suitable for all learners. However, given the holiday theme, we may discuss traditional beliefs around Santa Claus, which some families may approach differently. I encourage parents to share their preferences or concerns with me, ensuring that the class aligns with their values. No media content with official ratings will be used in this class. All materials and discussions will be age-appropriate and aimed at fostering a positive and inclusive learning environment.
