Successful Schools Survey
Head/Face Coverings
We continue to see students wearing inappropriate head/face covering while in school. This makes it hard to identify students in our school, which is a safety issue. Please make sure to go over the proper head/face attire with your student(s).
Students seen in violation will be asked to immediately remedy the situation or asked to leave for the day. Please review the following pictures below
