DRESS CODE
All clothing and possessions should be labeled with your child’s name and class. Don’t allow children to wear jewelry to school. The jewelry may get lost or broken. We cannot be responsible for such items.
WE ARE A UNIFORM SCHOOL, which is any shade of blue attire. The school uniform is not mandated and is a choice. We depend on parents to send their children to school in appropriate clothing for their attendance at school. We encourage parents to listen to weather reports so that children wear and bring suitable clothing.
We also encourage parents/guardians and students to consider that student attire should facilitate participation in learning as well as support the health and safety of all students and adults.
Please note, that students will not wear hat, caps or other head coverings inside the building (except for religious reasons).
LATENESS
If you child is late, please send a note or bring him/her to the office. Late arrival will prevent a student from receiving a perfect attendance award.
Students must be picked up on time, 2:10 pm. If a student is picked up late more than 2 times in one month, an appointment will be made to meet with the guidance counselor.
PROMOTIONAL STANDARDS
Chancellor’s Regulations #A-501 establishes a system wide promotion policy with clearly defined standards for promotion for each grade. All students in Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 12 will meet or exceed rigorous academic standards in a performance –based core curriculum. Students must meet or exceed the promotion standards in order to be promoted to the next grade.
