Dear Parents/Guardians,

I hope this letter finds you well. As our students transition through their middle school years, we recognize the importance of guiding them towards responsible personal hygiene practices. Maintaining proper hygiene not only contributes to their physical well-being but also plays a significant role in their social interactions and overall confidence.

We understand that at this age, students may be experiencing changes in their bodies that can sometimes result in body odor. Encouraging regular bathing, especially after physical activities, can help them feel fresh and confident throughout the day. Additionally, the use of deodorant can be a beneficial practice in managing body odor and promoting a more comfortable and pleasant environment for everyone.

We kindly ask for your support in discussing these matters with your child at home. Encouraging open communication and providing guidance on personal care routines can greatly benefit their well-being and social interactions.

If you have any concerns or questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We are committed to ensuring a positive and respectful learning environment for all our students.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in addressing this important aspect of personal development.

We strive for our students to be responsible to bring the necessary items to school daily. We will not accept classwork (homework/projects), Chromebooks, phones, and student ID's at the front desk.

Items that are accepted will be placed on the drop off shelf inside the front hallway. It is the student's responsibility to check the shelf for forgotten items such as P.E./Athletics uniform, music instrument, water bottle or lunchbox. We are unable to send notes to students to pick up items from the shelf. Thank you for your support.

Athletics/Game Day Items: Please make arrangements with your student to pick up items dropped off after school on game days. The front desk will not be able to contact students from the gym or locker room.
