DR. MARTIN'S MESSAGE
Next year, junior high girls will have a new uniform option: a solid navy skirt, designated exclusively for junior high. However, they may still choose to wear pants if they prefer. Last Wednesday, Schoolbelles visited the school, allowing current sixth and seventh graders to try on skirts to determine their correct size for ordering. Schoolbelles gave each girl a slip with what size to order. All girls will have the option next year to wear a girl’s style school uniform shorts. They will be available on the website.
You can order online at Schoolbelles or come into the store located at 1751 A Monmouth Street, Newport KY 41071. The new style is a 3510 Box Pleated Skirt in navy blue. It is available in waist sizes 24 to 48 inches and also comes in a variety of lengths. Most girls will need the 18-inch (XS) length.
Due to an error in Schoolbelles inventory department, they had a shorter size loaded for waist over 24 inches. If your child’s waist is over 24 inches, she will need to order an xs length and not the xxs written on her order form.
If your daughter lost her slip, Schoolbelles has a record of your daughter’s size. Schoolbelles will have the skirt on sale at 20% off from April 1st to April 7th. You will need to log in under your school code (s1571) to get the sale price if you order online. If you order in store, you will receive both the sale price and free shipping.
If you have any questions, you can call Schoolbelles at 859-581-3111.
On Friday, there is a funeral at 1:00. Please do not arrive before 2:00 for carpool because the funeral attendees will be coming out to get in their cars and you will not be able to line up.
