NOTES FROM THE PRINCIPAL

Attention all students:  the dress code police are out in full force.  Short shorts and skirts are not acceptable.  Your shorts and skirts must come to your fingertips with your arms fully extended.  If you don’t want to buy shorts or skirts that are long enough to wear to school, plan on wearing pants.  Also, tank tops, muscle shirts and “wife-beaters” are not acceptable.  Plan to be sent home if you do not follow the rules.  There isn’t a person in this building that isn’t aware of the dress code.  No excuses will be heard.  Dress appropriately. 

Also, public display of affection includes anything more than holding hands.  Detentions have been issued to some students who have chosen not to follow the rule.  You will be given a detention if you are seen embracing or kissing in school.
