A Note From Mrs. Graham
Housekeeping Notes
Dress Code requires the boys and girls with belt loops wear belts on all days including Fridays. Boys also need to keep their shirts tucked in throughout the day. Please wear athletic shoes during the week as we go to PE most days and play outside everyday we can. I have requested the girls put their hair up as it is often a distraction when it is left down.
