Having been a public school teacher for nearly 30 years, I would not recommend bringing your Senegal to your school. My reason has nothing to do with the personality and behaviors of Sennies or a worry about his security from the students. My concern is that many schools often use fairly harsh cleaning products and any residual fumes may prove to be very toxic and potentially fatal to your Sennie. Also, unknown to many teachers, their schools may be on a schedule of having insecticides applied inside their rooms. In my school’s district, this was done early on Friday evenings, when the staff were long gone and weren’t aware of what was taking place.
I’d ere on the side of health and safety and keep him away from your school.
Your Sennie should be fine being left at home. Develop a schedule where he has some time out of his cage with you in the morning and a couple of hours when you are home in the afternoon and evening and he will be fine. Have plenty of toys and foraging opportunities in his cage each day. Leave a radio or TV playing for him for some additional entertainment or position his cage so that he can look out a window if he chooses. My Sennie enjoys watching the world outside a window.
