Week of January 12th

Dear Fifth Grade Families,

Your students are growing! If skirts are higher than just above the knee or if shirts are always coming un-tucked, it might mean that the hem of the skirt needs to be let out or that the skirt or shirt is too small.

We are doing a uniform reset this week. Please look at your student's agenda to see whether they receive any uniform infractions. Three infractions will result in a detention and a phone call home from Mr. Brogan. Here is a short list of the uniform issues that we will be looking for:

        q  Colored nail polish  
       q  No belt         
       q  Dangle or hoop earrings 
       q  Bracelets/rings
       q  Non-school sweaters in class
       q  Patterns or distracting/oversized logos on jackets
       q  Necklaces untucked
       q  No-show socks
       q  Stretch material tan pants (jeggings) for 5th/6th grade students
       q  Non-school or house colored hair bows
       q  Smart watches
       q  Shoes that are not Saddle shoes, ALL white or ALL black

d    You can also read pages 94-99 of the Lower School Family Handbook for more detailed uniform guidelines.
