• Please make sure your child brings a coat to school each day this winter. We will try and go outside if at all possible. Please make sure their name is written in their coat.
• Please make sure that your child wears a belt if the pants have belt loops on them.
• If your child is cold in the classroom and wants to wear a jacket or sweatshirt, it must be navy.
• Some children have grown over the holidays, so please make sure that skirts are an appropriate length (must be within two inches of the top of the knee cap) - even if they are wearing leggings underneath.
• Please remember that although students are not tardy until after 8:15, we begin with some early work at 8:00.
