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

The McKusick School is looking for old neckties for Arts Alive.  Please drop them off at the school.  Thank you!

Keys

A large ring of keys were found at Guilford Primary.  If you think they are yours, please stop in or call at 876-4590 to identify.
