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!
