Parents and Guardians,
Vassar MS Staff needs your help. We have seen an increase in the number of students bringing larger “fidgets” to school, particularly gel-filled fidgets (such as some NeeDoh products). While these items are marketed as stress relievers, many are over a foot long and have become significant distractions to learning and are not being used appropriately.
In addition, when these fidgets are punctured the gel inside is extremely sticky, difficult to clean, and can cause damage to flooring, furniture, and plumbing.
We recognize that fidgets can support focus and reduce anxiety. However, effective immediately, any gel-filled fidget must be no larger than a student’s fist.
If we continue to experience issues with devices breaking or causing damage, we will revisit this procedure and may prohibit gel-filled fidgets altogether.
Thank you for your cooperation and support. If you have any questions, please reach out to school directly.
