Hello Allendale County Community of Learners,

Thanks to each of you for your commitment for a successful school opening. I want to remind you of the incredible strength and potential we possess as a united community. Together, we can achieve great things—whether it’s overcoming challenges, reaching new heights of academic excellence, or creating an environment where everyone feels valued and supported. Allendale Fairfax we’ve done it before and we’ll do it again.

Together, we can do this.

**Together, we can reunite, rebuild, and redefine our future.**

I want to remind everyone of a few important policies that will help us maintain a positive and productive environment this school year.

1. **Cell Phone Policy**: Please remember that cell phones should not be brought to school. They will be confiscated. Please leave them at home.

2. **Dress Code**: Our dress code is in place to ensure a respectful and distraction-free environment. Please adhere to it daily so that we can all contribute to a positive school culture.

3. **Attendance**: Daily attendance is crucial to your success. Being present and on time each day ensures that you are getting the most out of your education and are prepared for the challenges ahead.

By following these guidelines and supporting each other, we can create an environment where everyone can thrive.

Let's move forward with determination, collaboration, and a shared commitment to making this year our best yet. I am depending on each of you.

Once a Tiger, Always a Tiger,

Dr. Vallerie C. Cave
