FYI:
We welcome our new principal Ms. Stockton to our school family. She has many years of teaching experience and will also be running reading & math intervention, which will start soon.

We have started “cracking down” on the dress code. Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately:
Pants, shorts, skirts must be either navy blue or khaki in color (NO BLACK OR GRAY OR
SWEATPANTS)
Sweatshirts that can be seen underneath school shirts need to be the same color as the shirt worn.
Jackets or sweaters worn OVER the school shirt must be red, white, or blue with no logos. (Your
child will be asked to remove the jacket or sweater in class if it is not within compliance).

School shirts (either new or old) must be worn and tucked in.

The student council will be selling snacks after school this week and next week.

Sincerely,
Beth Hernandez
