Recently we have been reviewing our school's policies with children in the morning announcements. This is a friendly reminder that the BOE policy on Student Dress prohibits head gear inside the school building except on our special celebration days. This means students are prohibited from wearing hoodies, bandanas or hats in school. Thank you for helping us enforce this with our students to ensure an optimal learning environment. We also ask that unless a student has special permission, toys and electronic gadgets also stay at home.
We appreciate all your support with this!
Mrs. Seiss
