5th Grade Promotion Attire:
Parents/Guardians,
We are looking forward to what our 2019 fifth grade promotion. This day is a special day and we are thankful that we get to share this moment with you and your family. In wanting to ensure that this day remains the special day that it is meant to be, I am sharing the following attire protocol:
Sunday Best for all students.
Open toed shoes for girls (no playground play with open toed shoes).
No heels or wedges.
No bare shoulders or spaghetti straps.
Fingertip length dresses.
If your child is wearing something that is inappropriate, we will be calling you to bring in a change of clothes/footwear to avoid your child missing out on this special day. Dressing in this manner will ensure the focus remains on your child's accomplishments and on this special day.
Thank you in advance,
Fifth Grade Teachers and Mr. Hernandez

A Message from Mr. Hernandez
Dear Parents/Guardians,
As the final trimester of the year approaches, I want to make sure all students end the year strong. One of the contributing factors to ending strong is students adhering to our uniform policy. Please know that I have asked teachers to address students not in uniform. Please take a moment to review our uniform policy located on our school website. If your child has a medical condition that requires him/her to wear a hat, please do bring a doctor’s note to the school office so that we can have it on file. Please know that Fridays are days where students must still adhere to our overall District dress code policy. Thank you in advance for your support and for assuring your child is abiding by the uniform policy.
Attention 2nd & 5th Grade Parents:
Thank you!
