We have noticed that some of our young ladies are wearing clothes that are not appropriate for school. This includes shorts/skirts that are too short or tight, shirts that reveal straps or are low cut, yoga pants that are too sheer or not worn with longer shirts. If clothing needs to be constantly pulled down for coverage or adjusted, it should not be worn to school. Thank you for your assistance. We enjoyed two wonderful concerts this Monday and Tuesday. Congratulations to our outstanding students, Mr. Walls and Mr. Jackowski. We wish our eighth grade musicians much success as they move to high school. Interim reports went home Thursday.
