May your Christmas be blessed with family, friends, faith, and maybe a small miracle.
The Faculty and staff of SVDP School want to thank you for your generosity this holiday season and wish you a very Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year!
CONTINUOUS ENROLLMENT
The Gift of Compliance
This holiday season, give your student the gift of “compliance.”
Many of our middle school boys are out of compliance with regard to hair styles. Below are the requirements per the SVDP Community Handbook.
Hair is to be neatly groomed and of moderate length. Bandanas/kerchiefs covering the head are not permitted. Hairstyles must be tame and not entail significant contrasts of long and short hair, or unnatural contrasts in color. Hair styles that are extreme or bizarre, or that involve design or architecture are not permitted.
Boys: Haircuts are to be traditional and conservative, kept to the top of the neck and above the collar, off the ears and from mid-forehead to above the eyebrows.
Final judgement as to what is acceptable will be determined by the administration.
The administration does not consider hair longer on top and combed forward over and beyond the forehead to be in compliance.
For the girls, we are seeing the skirts get shorter and shorter – some because they are just too short and some because the girls are opting to roll at the waistband. Either way compliance is the issue. Please note that the skirts are available in a “teen” size, that provides more length, no matter the waist size.
From the community handbook:
Plaid Skirt: Girls are required to have their skirt length at the middle of the knee.
When we come back to class on January 8, it would also be wonderful to see clean tennis shoes, sweaters without holes, and fresh (not gray or dingy) white shirts.
So, your sons should make a trip to the barber or hair stylist, and everyone should visit Classic Design for a refresh. We do have many uniform pieces available for free in the used uniform area.
Thank you!
