Uniform Reminder
This is a friendly reminder about our school uniform expectations. All students—both boys and girls—must have their uniform shirts tucked in at all times while on campus. Boys are also required to wear a belt.
Starting this week, students who enter the classroom without their shirt tucked in will receive a uniform infraction. We understand that during recess and physical activity, it may be difficult to maintain this standard; however, when students are in the presence of staff, administration, or in any professional setting, they are expected to present themselves appropriately.
Amazon Wishlist
As we gear up for an exciting school year filled with learning and growth, I wanted to share a wonderful opportunity to further enhance our classroom experience. I created an Amazon Wishlist with carefully selected items that will greatly benefit our students’ education journey. You may check out the link below. Add your favorite items!
