School-Wide Reminders:

Dear Families,

As we continue the school year, we'd like to take a moment to reinforce some important school-wide policies that help maintain a safe, organized, and equitable learning environment for all students. These are not new or updated rules, and were publicized at the start of the year, but have been getting a bit relaxed.

Dress Code: Hats

Students are not permitted to wear hats, caps, or head coverings inside the building during the school day. This applies to all indoor spaces, including classrooms, hallways, and common areas. Students should remove and store head coverings upon arrival. Thank you for supporting this expectation from home!

Outside Food & Beverages

To promote food safety and ensure fair access to meals and snacks for all students, outside food and beverages are not permitted in the morning. This includes:

• Coffee shop drinks (including Starbucks and similar vendors)

• Fast-food breakfast items

Students are welcome to enjoy school-provided breakfast in their classrooms upon arrival or bring a packed lunch. If your student has specific dietary needs or allergies, please contact our main office to discuss accommodations.

Water Bottles: Clear Plastic Only

Students may bring clear plastic water bottles to school. Water bottles help keep students hydrated and focused throughout the day. Please note:

• Water bottles must be clear or translucent plastic (no colored or opaque bottles)

• Bottles should contain water only

Thank you for your partnership in keeping our school community healthy and safe.
