Parent Student Handbook Reminders
Hygiene/Personal Grooming
Parents have the primary responsibility in providing for the basic health and body care needs of their children. Children LEARN to take pride in good grooming and personal appearance. Standards have been set as to cleanliness, hairstyles, and uniforms. Boys’ hair must be styled neatly, above the collar and not below the eyebrows. Boys must be clean-shaven at all times. Ladies’ skirt lengths may not be more than three inches above the knee. No excessive clothing or hairstyles are permitted, including but not limited to hair-streaking or unnatural hair color, cut-in lines/designs, mohawks, or tails. Students may be asked to wear a hat, have their hair re-dyed, or be sent home if hairstyles are deemed excessive. Exceptions to these rules due to cultural/religious reasons must be approved by the principal. If you are unsure whether your child's hair meets the school standard please check with the school office. On the official school

Pants are to be worn at waist level (no low-riders, baggies, etc.) and be the proper size. Boys who wear oversized pants will be required to purchase a new pair in the proper size. Boys shall not wear pants that, when fastened, sag or fit below the waist. All pants must fit around the waist and be properly fastened. Boys in grades 5 through 8 are expected to wear a belt (solid black or brown).

Preschool / Gates / Drop-off / Pick-up Procedures
For the safety of everyone on campus please be aware of the following drop-off and pick-up routines. The gate in the upper yard closest to the Preschool is closed and locked at 8:05 AM. This gate then remains closed for the remainder of the school day. Since we have an extended care program on campus, the gate will reopen after the last student leaves the school premises or at the latest of 6:00 PM every evening.
Preschool Parents, if you arrive after 8:05 AM, please drop your child off at the 479 Miller (@ Spruce) entrance. Mrs. Horne, is our receptionist and she begins at 8:00 AM. Mrs. Horne will have you sign in and you may escort your child to the Preschool.
If your chlid is dismissed or leaves prior to 3:00 PM, sign-in with the receptions, Mrs. Horne. Then you will be permitted to walk to the PreSchool to get your child. Please be sure to exit the school through the glass doors at 479 Miller Avenue (@ Spruce). After 3:00 PM, please follow the procedures established by Mr. Liu the PreSchool Director.
