Message from Principal Loveland
Dear Parent/Guardians,
As the beautiful spring and summer weather begins to arrive, I would like to ask you all to review the dress code policy with your students. The policy is listed below. Common dress code infractions to watch out for include the following:
- See-through clothing
- Half shirts (crop tops, midriffs)
- Short shorts
- Tank tops
Lastly, we have observed some instances of unsafe student driving on Wamogo Road and in the parking lot this year. Please know that we have a zero tolerance policy for any unsafe driving practices. Students that choose to pass cars, drive in excessive speeds, or commit other unsafe driving infractions will be strictly disciplined up to and including suspension from school and/or driving privileges. The safety of all students and staff at Wamogo is our number one priority. If your student drives to school, please speak with him/her about safe driving practices. If you observe any student exhibiting unsafe driving practices, please report it to the main office with as much detail as possible.
Thank you for your continued support!
Sabin Loveland
Principal
