💙💛 CP Tiger Team & Family,
We know school just ended, but for those of you who like to get a head start on back-to-school shopping, we wanted to share an important uniform reminder for the 2026–2027 school year.
As you begin purchasing uniforms, please pay special attention to our guidance regarding student bottoms, as these expectations will be strictly enforced next year. Monday–Thursday uniform bottoms must be dress pants/slacks-style material only. Jeans (including black jeans), joggers, leggings, and athletic/running shorts are not permitted as part of the regular school uniform.
Thank you for partnering with us in maintaining the high expectations necessary for a strong start to the upcoming school year! 💙💛
