If parents are volunteering or visiting the school/classroom, we kindly ask that their cell phones be turned off or silenced so as to not disrupt the learning environment.
Dress Code
The major responsibility for dress and grooming is placed upon the student and the student’s parents/guardians. The following guidelines are intended to define appropriate student attire and personal grooming compatible with educational activities. The purpose is to prevent disruption of the classroom atmosphere, encourage appropriate dress for the school setting, eliminate disturbances among students in attendance, minimize student distraction so as not to interfere with the educational process, and to help protect the health, safety, and welfare of the individual student.
