Dear Parents,

I apologize for the confusion on the classroom pet permission form. This is a new policy and I thought in order for our class to have a pet, we need the permission forms turned in.

You only need to sign and turn in the pet permission form if you do not want your child to have contact with the 2 rats.

My assistant Ms. Ali has pet rats. She loves them very much. She is willing to have them in our classroom for the year. She will bring in 2 rats in a cage daily. They are very intelligent mammals. They eat fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds.

I’ve not had much experience with rats, but very excited to learn more about them.

Email me with any questions, concerns or comments.

Thank you,
Ms. Holly & Ms. Ali
