Reminder of Items that are causing a disruption to our learning environment and are not creating a Culture of EXCEL-lence
Dress code: Please be sure to check your child's agenda for any details--big things to note--no biker shorts, no shorts, skirts, dresses shorter than fingertip length with arm extended, no crop tops, spaghetti strap tops, no holes in pants that are above the knee
Vapes: These are for adults 21 years and older--We have seen an increase in the number of students bringing, selling or carrying vapes. Please note the parent will be held liable for this as it is against the law to be in possession by a minor. Please ensure your child is not purchasing these from others, bringing to school for any reason or using on school grounds.
Restroom usage: We have seen an increase in students asking to go to the bathroom multiple times a day. If your child has a medical condition that requires frequent use of the restroom please send a note or reach out to the administration. We are not preventing students from going to the restroom but wanting parents to be aware if this is a frequent activity as their child is missing valuable instructional time.
