Lost and Found
We have lots of school uniform sweatshirts in our Lost and Found. Anything not claimed by the end of the day Monday, January 8 will be washed and resold in the used uniform closet. We check tags for names and try to get those to their owners. What you see in the picture doesn't have a name.
Cold Weather Wear
If the weather requires your child to wear something more than their uniform polo, please be sure that you are only sending them in school uniform hoodies or crewneck sweatshirts. Because hoodies and crewnecks are available to us as a school uniform piece, students should be wearing those. They are also welcome to wear zip up jackets and coats!
Also, girls may wear leggings. They must be plain without any embellishments or cutouts. Leggings can be grey, navy, or black.
