SICK POLICY
Please remember that students who are ill or have a fever are not permitted to attend class and should not be brought to school. A child who wakes up with a fever and is given Tylenol is still a sick child. Please do not send your child to school within a 24 hour period of fever, vomiting or diarrhea. No student with a temperature of 100 degrees or above will be allowed to remain in school. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
STUDENT DRESS
School standard dress must be worn for all school activities including after school games, Saturday tournaments and evening events. Students are not allowed to change out of their school uniform for any reason other than P.E. or sports practice.
