Please note: students are required to wear sneakers when they are in their summer uniforms. Crocs, Uggs, and other such footwear are not part of the school uniform and are not permitted when students are wearing the summer uniform. Students are expected to be cooperative with this requirement and to adhere to the school dress code. Cooperation is one of the facets that determines their personal development grade.
P.S. Although this may seem a bit early to mention, if your child has received any scholarships or grants, please send a copy of the letter that states this to school. These awards are announced at graduation.

I ask that you please send me a copy of any scholarship or grant that your child receives at school. We do announce these scholarships and grants at graduation. However, in most cases, the high schools or the organization issuing the scholarship or grant does not directly contact the school. Therefore, unless I receive official notification from the students, I am not aware that a scholarship or grant has been awarded to them.
