  • Between nerves and warming up in a small classroom there is a high chance that students will get hot. The new uniforms do not breathe well, which will add to students getting hot. With that being said please double check that they have applied deodorant before they get dressed.
• NO GUM or FOOD
• Please do not eat in these uniforms.

• Girls: We will be having a seamstress alter any dresses that need it in August when we start the new year. For now we are asking that you tack them up. You can either tack them with thread or blue painters tape. Dresses should be full lengthen and right at your shoes. If your dress is too long and you decide to use blue painter tape, we suggest looking at how it looks after taping it to make sure the tape is not bunching the skirt. It might work better to use small stripes spaced apart. If you need to iron the dress please do it before you apply the tape.
• Boys: We will be having a seamstress alter any pants that need it in August when we start the new year. For now we asking that you tack them up.  You can either tack them with thread or blue painters tape. If your pants are to long and you decide to use blue painter tape, we suggest looking at how it looks after taping it to make sure the tape is not bunching the leg. It might work better to use small stripes spaced apart. If you need to iron the pants please do it before you apply the tape.
• Please remove the tape as soon as possible after wearing. We do not want tape residue on the inside of the uniform, if possible.
