Appropriate Clothing
As the days get warmer, we start having questions as to appropriate dress for students. These items of clothing are inappropriate: saggy tank top shirts, halter tops, tops with spaghetti straps, tube tops, belly shirts, and excessively short shorts. If your daughter wears low cut pants, be sure she wears an appropriate shirt that covers her midriff, especially when sitting. For safety reasons, students who wear sandals may want to change to sneakers for running at recess and movement class.
Arts Alive
