Dear Parents,
We have received some feedback about the changes to our spirit wear days. We realized that we were not clear in yesterday’s newsletter. We are changing Friday spirit wear days to only select days (spirit wear means APA style t-shirts or sweatshirts purchased through the school). On the Fridays that are not spirit wear days students are allowed to wear the “dress-down” Friday uniform.
In grades K-6 the Friday uniform is:
- Boys & Girls – Navy Polo Shirt
- Polo-style shirt must be dark navy with white or clear buttons. No logo required.
- Girls – Khaki Slacks or Skirt
- Girls K-6th grade may choose to wear khaki slacks or skirts with the navy polos on Fridays. No sewn outside pockets (cargo pants) or skinny pants.
In grades 7-9 the Friday uniform is:
- Boys & Girls – Navy Polo Shirt
- Polo-style shirt must be dark navy with white or clear buttons. No logo required. Any uniform pant or skirt can be worn with navy polos on Fridays.
Students are not required to wear polos on Friday, but it is an option.
Secondary Notice – Fragrances and Deodorant
Due to chemical allergies, students cannot apply spray fragrance or deodorant at school. We will be directing students to take home these products so they are not in the lockers.
We encourage our students taking PE to bring a stick deodorant or antiperspirant to apply after PE. Students can also bring a cloth in a ziplock bag and use the sinks to spot clean as needed. Disposable wipes are discouraged because they will clog the plumbing if flushed. Thanks for your help with this!
We look forward to seeing you tonight at parent orientation (6-8pm)!
