    9)         Remind your children not to use any of the supplies from the desks they sit at, even  
                if it’s just a pencil.  We have all you need at the front desk.  All the supplies in the  
                desks belong to the children that attend the school during the week. Teacher’s
                supplies also should not be used.

    10)         Instruct your children to respect the property of others by not writing or  
                 defacing the desks or the books of the Trinity School Students.
