Parent Survey Follow-Up Thanks to the CCS parents/guardians who provided us with feedback during our annual survey. Over the next few weeks, we’ll respond to some of the comments in our Newsletter. Comment: “One small change should be made to the gym uniform options--long sleeve t-shirts should be an option. It is simply too cold in the winter to dress my child in a short sleeve t-shirt for gym, but if she wears a sweatshirt, she gets too warm with activity in gym. I actually inquired at Flynn & O'Hara about long-sleeve t-shirts and was told that they carry them but Collegium doesn't offer the option. I was also told that many people have asked about this. Please strongly consider this option.” Response: This is a great idea! I’m sure our students will love this option. Collegium has contacted our uniform supplier, Flynn & O’Hara, to request that long-sleeve t-shirts be added as a gym uniform option effective for the 2015-2016 school year.
