Dear Parents and Students,
This message serves as a firm reminder that adherence to the school uniform policy is mandatory for all students.
Recently, there has been an increase in students attending school in attire that does not meet the established uniform requirements. The uniform policy exists to promote discipline, equality, safety, and a focused learning environment, and it must be followed consistently.
Effective immediately, students who are not in proper uniform will be subject to consequences . This may include being asked to change, parental contact, or disciplinary action where necessary. Repeated violations will not be tolerated
We ask parents to ensure that students arrive at school each day in full compliance with the uniform policy, including appropriate footwear and accessories. Students are also responsible for understanding and following these expectations.
Thank you for your cooperation and support in maintaining the standards of our school community.

PLAN AHEAD: The last day of school for K–11 students is Friday, May 22. It’s a shortened day. Early Childhood wraps up Thursday, May 21. High school seniors get out on Friday, May 8. Check out this 205 VIBE post for more details about the schedule: rps205.com/article/2813047
