From time to time, faculty and staff may be offered gifts by grateful students, parents or other family members of students. The school does not want to discourage the kindness of the students (such as in offering handmade items of appreciation that they have created for their teachers). However, due to the potential for conflicts of interest (such as grading, student promotions, awards, etc.), as well as the potential for inappropriate “competition” among parent gift-givers, faculty and staff members must exercise caution in accepting gifts from parents. All gifts from students or parents (other than GCL organized gifts) that appear to exceed a $25 limit must be reported in writing to the immediate supervisor.
