Fall Conferences are Coming!
Wed., Oct 9 - Evening and Thurs., Oct 10 - Afternoon and Evening
The 2019-2020 school year fall conferences are scheduled for the evening of Oct 9 and the afternoon and evening of Oct 10. Conference sign-ups are done electronically. The invitations for the sign ups are scheduled to be sent tomorrow after school.
Conferences are 15 minutes long. We ask families to be on time to the conferences. Once one family is late, it has a ripple effect for the entire evening.
Student Dress Code
Several staff and parents have inquired about student dress code. Trombly does not have a specific one. We follow the one published in the school district’s Administrative Guidelines Manual.
Elementary:
Students should come to school prepared to go outside each day, even in the winter
Clothing should not contain pictures, graphics, or language which are inappropriate for the school environment per the Student Code of Conduct (AG 5500A).
Students are expected to wear clothing that does not use or depict hate speech targeting groups based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, religious affiliation or any other marginalized group per District Policy 5517 – Anti-Harassment.
Students are expected to remove caps, hats, and hoods in the building (religious or health-related headwear excluded.).
Student are expected to wear clothing that adequately covers the chest, back and mid-section.
Students are expected to wear clothing that is non-transparent.
All tops must have sleeves or straps. Straps must fit sufficiently so they do not fall off shoulders.
Clothing must cover undergarments (bra straps excluded).
Shorts worn to school must cover undergarments, have an inseam and adequately cover a portion of the thigh at all times.
Skirts and dresses worn to school must cover undergarments and adequately cover a portion of the thigh at all times.
Students are expected to wear shoes that enable them to safely participate in all school activities
Specialized courses/activities (physical education, science labs, industrial technology, etc.) may require specialized attire, such as athletic wear or safety gear.
Animals on Trombly Property
Since the beginning of school, there has been an increase of dogs on school property. As a result, we have been asked by several families about the policy concerning dogs on the property.
School district policy states “ Animals permitted in schools and elsewhere on District property shall be limited to those necessary to support specific curriculum-related projects and activities, those that provide assistance to a student or staff member due to a disability (e.g. seizure disorder), those that provide a reasonable accommodation to a student in accordance with a Section 504 Plan, or those that serve as service animals as required by Federal and State law.” Therefore, since the majority of the dogs on the grounds are pets, we have to ask that no dogs be brought to school and more specifically to the areas of line up and pick up.
It would be great if we could allow all pets. However, we have to take into consideration that dogs can cause or exacerbate allergic reactions or that a hazard may occur if they should escape from confinement. We also have several students who are very afraid of dogs.
We appreciate your cooperation. If you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.
