Dear Students and Families,

Spring is here!  The days are getting noticeably longer, brighter, and warmer.  It is this time of year that a principal’s thoughts turn to — you guessed it — dress code.  Not your first guess?  Parents are reminded that appropriate dress can be an issue when kids are sent to school in shorts and short sleeves and without a jacket and then spend recess time on our breezy playground.  Please send your children into school with at least a light jacket or sweatshirt throughout the spring.  Also, be aware that certain footware can create an issue at school as well.  “Flip-flops” and sneakers with “heelies” can be significantly hazardous when walking in a crowd or on stairwells.  Please refer to your student handbook if you have general dress code questions, or please give us a call at the school if you need specific answers.  In general, any clothing that is distracting to the learning process or could be hazardous is not permitted.  I hope you have a great month and enjoy the warmer weather.  Enjoy May!

Sincerely,

Mark Levanto
