Uniform Update:
Total Impact made two deliveries last week (8/12 & 8/15). We gave all of the orders to students to take home. If you have any questions please call the main office.
This is a final reminder that hoodies are not allowed on campus. Hoodies will be taken and put on hold until a parent is available to r pick-up. Additionally, all jackets and sweaters MUST match the polo shirt (Navy, Grey, or Blue).
We have given several warnings about the length of skirts. This week we will issue dress code violations. Please check the length of your student's skirt. The skirts are extremely short in the back and are not appropriate for school.
Thank you for your support.
P.S. Everyone has done really well with uniform compliance. We are very very happy!
