Backpacks & Lunch Bags (page 47 of the Parent/Student Handbook)

● Backpacks and lunch bags must be school colors in any combination of red, black, white or clear.. No characters are permitted. Any logos must be school colors and blend in with the backpack. (Subject to Headmaster’s/Deans’ discretion.)

This is why the pop on multicolored decorations on the Croc backpacks are not permitted. It falls under the characters or colors outside of our dress code. Students are not allowed to keep any characters or objects popped on the backpacks that are not black, white, red, or a combo of colors.

Example/Clarifications: If a student had a ladybug pop on (white, black, and red), then it would be fine to leave on. If it was Minnie Mouse or a character from a show, etc. or an object (like a tree -brown and green- then it would not be permitted to stay on.

● Parents may choose to have student’s initials put on backpacks or lunch boxes for easy identification. It is not advised to put students’ full names on book bags for safety purposes as these items are also used off school grounds. Backpacks, lunch boxes and purses should not have inappropriate writing, dangling keys, key chains and/or chains.

Example/Clarifications: Students are not permitted to have key chains such as Labubus or other items on their backpacks according to our policy.

We have some exciting news to share regarding our Student of the Month winners! Jammin J's Pizza Factory has generously partnered with us to offer each winning student a pizza credit that can be used when ordering from their website for lunch. To make it easy for the owner, Jeff Walker, to add the credit, winning students must have a Jammin J's account.

Action Item: Create a Jammin J's Pizza Factory Account!

We're excited to announce that we have partnered with Jammin J's Pizza Factory to reward our Student of the Month Award winners with a pizza credit (this also applies to August and September winners; a credit will be given to those winners as well)! To ensure your child receives this free credit if they are selected as a winner, parents must create an account on the Jammin J's Pizza Factory website. Please find the PDF of instructions attached below to complete this step. After your account is created, the pizza credit will be automatically added when your student is selected.

Finally, a huge thank you to Mr. Walker for this opportunity! Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you for all you do!
