Hello parents,
It has recently been brought to the school’s attention that the dress code has been very relaxed lately. We are trying to tighten things up again. Please make sure that your child wears dress shoes with a soft sole or tennis shoes. Also, each child’s shirt needs to be tucked into their dress pants while at school. Please make sure their your child’s shirt is long enough to be tucked in.
