There will be some dress code changes for the 24-25 school year:
- No hoodies will be allowed at school. This is for the entire year.
- When it’s cold, wear a coat. A knit cap will be permitted. It must be taken off when entering the building, and cannot be worn when it’s not cold.
- When it rains, it’s ok to wear a rain coat with a hood, but the rain coat will need to be removed when students enter the building.
- Body suits will be prohibited.
- Blankets are prohibited.
- Unsafe foot ware such as house shoes are prohibited
Students – All students are required to replace their ID’s this year. If you come in and BRING YOUR OLD ID with you, we will make you a new ID for free. If you have lost your ID, you will have to pay $5.00 for a new one. All New Students will have to pay for an ID. Only 1 ID will be issued. The hours for you to get your IDs this week are Monday – Wednesday are 8:30 am – 11:30 am and 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm. Remember you must have cash and the exact amount.
