Please talk to your student about cleaning up their messes. Our students have started not to care about the mess they make and are leaving it for others to clean up. This has happened in the classroom and it happened in art last Tuesday. Students were 12 minutes late back to our class, leaving us 3 minutes to pack up, because no one would clean up their mess! I have talked with students about being both respectful and responsible but would appreciate it if they got talked to at home too.
