Tucson Unified has revised it's dress code for the promotion of an equitable atmosphere for all students. Of note, pajama bottoms and crocs are allowed. In addition, we will continue to enforce the no hat rule inside the building. Magee does not have a supplemental dress code and will not enforce any policy beyond the current code. The specific policy can be found on the district website.

Pool Testing District Letter

• This past fall our students were privileged to hear from a community organization call Text, Talk, Act. Our 6th and 8th graders were introduced to "What is Mental Health" and how to manage our mental health issues and those that we love. Our 7th graders will hear an anti-bullying presentation this January, 2023.
• "Our youth are experiencing increased rates of suicide, anxiety and depression. Text, Talk, Act is a proven method to get them talking, to educated them on mental health, and to provide the tools they need to seek help. With our program we can save lives."

If you have concerns about your child, please reach out. Magee is connected with many outside *free* resources for counseling services. Many times, we can get them support within a few days.
