A big thank you to the students and staff for participating in all the drills this week. On Tuesday our fire drill was rained out, so we conducted FIRE and SHELTER drills on Wednesday. On Thursday, we conducted the LOCKOUT drill. Friday was the LOCKDOWN drill. Below is a brief description of each emergency procedure.

Dress Down Day Dress Code: Dress Down Days are announced during the course of the school year. Some are free dress days, while others serve as a fundraiser and students may be charged a small fee if they dress down. A student may also dress down on his/her Birthday OR on the closest school day if their birthday falls on a Mass Day. Guidelines for Dress Down Days and School-Sanctioned Events for all students are as follows: The rules for Dress Down Days (excluding shoes) apply to school events that are approved by the administration. Such events include but are not limited to award ceremonies, dinners, dances, socials, pep rallies and field trips.

1. Jeans, slacks, Bermuda shorts, Capri pants and skirts of appropriate length and condition (may not have holes, rips, or defrayed). Shorts or skirts may not be shorter than 4 inches above the knee.

2. No strapless, spaghetti straps, backless halters, bare midriffs, tank tops, sleeveless shirts or sundresses.

3. All shoes must be athletic shoes or school shoes, and socks must be worn. No flip-flops, sandals, open toed or backless shoes including Crocs.

4. No hats, caps, visors, bandanas, fashion scarves, or sunglasses are permitted during the school day. 5. If a student's scheduled PE class falls on a free dress day, the student must wear/bring clothes conducive to PE including athletic shoes for class. Non-compliance will incur loss of grade for the day.

In case you missed it, beginning in the 2026-27 school year, parents and guardians of "Scholarship Choice Confirmed" students must complete an attestation in EMA each quarter for funding consideration. This attestation confirms that the student is not enrolled full-time in a public school. Important: A student will not receive funding if their attestation is not completed by the deadline. This email was shared with families, but we appreciate your help in encouraging them to take action.

Kindergarten, 1st grade, and 2nd grade: Please wear your dress uniform for pictures, NO PE uniforms on this day.

Dress Shoes: Black or Brown

PE Days - Athletic Shoes: White or Black/White and Black combination
