Tax Holiday, Open House, Uniform Updates & More!
Back to School 2024
Dear Plato Academy Families,
We hope you are enjoying your summer and are as excited as we are for the upcoming school year! We have some important updates to share with you as we prepare for another fantastic year of learning and growth.
2024 Florida Back-to-School Sales Tax Holiday:
We are pleased to inform you about the 2024 Florida Back-to-School Sales Tax Holiday. During this period, you can enjoy tax exemptions on certain items:
- Clothing, Footwear, and Accessories: Items with a sales price of $100 or less per item will be tax-exempt. This is a great opportunity to update your child's wardrobe for the new school year.
- School Supplies: Essential school supplies with a sales price of $50 or less per item will also be tax-exempt. Stock up on all the necessary materials your child will need to succeed.
- Learning Aids and Jigsaw Puzzles: Items with a sales price of $30 or less will be tax-exempt. These can be valuable tools to support your child's learning and development.
- Personal Computers and Related Accessories: For noncommercial home or personal use, personal computers and related accessories with a sales price of $1,500 or less will be tax-exempt. This is an excellent time to invest in technology that will support your child's education.
The tax holiday begins on Monday, July 29, 2024, and ends on Sunday, August 11, 2024. Take advantage of these savings as you prepare for the new school year!
Save the Date: August 8th Open House
We are excited to invite you to our Open House on August 8th. This is a wonderful opportunity to meet your Plato Family, drop off school supplies, and start the year on a positive note. Our staff will be on hand to welcome you to the family. We look forward to seeing you there and helping you and your child get off to a great start!
More info will follow from your campus and Principal.
Details about the curriculum, academic expectations, and other related topics will be covered during "Curriculum Night" at a later date. Your school administrator will provide you with the specific date and time.
Uniform Update:
We have a few important updates regarding our school uniform policy. These changes are designed to ensure that our students look their best and feel comfortable throughout the school day.
- Black Pants/Shorts: These will be phased out. Students may continue to wear them until they outgrow them, but they will no longer be available for purchase. We encourage you to explore other uniform options as you update your child's wardrobe.
- Khaki Bottoms: Khaki is no longer an acceptable uniform bottom. It was only included last year due to supply chain issues. Please ensure that your child does not wear khaki bottoms to school.
- White Polo Shirt: This item is being phased out as it tends to get dirty and look dingy. Students may wear it until they outgrow it, but it will no longer be available for purchase. We recommend choosing other colors that are part of the uniform policy.
- White Oxford Shirt: This is now a required item for events and picture day, as it presents a unified and classy appearance. While it is not required for regular school days, students are welcome to wear it if they choose to.
- Plaid Jumper: The plaid jumper is being phased out and replaced by the new blue polo dress. Students may continue to wear the plaid jumper until they outgrow it, but it will no longer be available for purchase. The new blue polo dress is a stylish and comfortable option for our students.
For more detailed information, please refer to the Plato Manual. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we implement these changes.
We thank you for trusting us with your child's education and for your continued support. Your involvement and commitment are vital to our success. We are excited to embark on another school year together and look forward to all the accomplishments and memories that lie ahead. Let's make this school year the best one yet!
Thank you,
Plato Academy Leadership Team
