· Dress Code and Hair Policy
Covid precautions have presented a long list of challenges that we would not experience in a normal school year. We made significant changes to the dress code this year to allow for students to be comfortable, and also allow staff to focus on a plethora of other concerns. By our standards, we have been laxed during the winter months as the building was cold due to open windows. As we get closer and closer to normal we are enforcing our dress code. All students will be expected to be in the Covid-19 dress code posted in the Student/Parent Handbook beginning this Monday, March 15th. No hoodies or sweatshirts will be allowed. All students must have a collared shirt tucked in with a belt. We will continue to NOT wear ties for the remainder of the school year. We have also been laxed on the hair policy as well. We know that hair may not be a quick fix so all students will be expected to be in compliance upon our return from Easter Break on Tuesday, April 6th. Please reference pages 24 and 25 of the Student/Parent Handbook for a detailed description of the dress code and hair policy. Thank you for your cooperation as we get closer and closer to normalcy.
· Attendance Reminders
If your son will be late, needs an early dismissal or will be absent for the full day, be sure to call the absentee hotline (412 621-1766) and leave a message with his name, grade and the reason. Per the handbook, saying things like "He won't be in today" or "He will be working remotely" will result in an unexcused absence. Late arrivals and early dismissals require students to check in/out at the welcome desk and provide a note to Mrs. Horey upon arrival at school. Students are not permitted to call themselves off nor should they be contacting their teachers asking to be excused for any reason. If there are any questions, please contact Mrs. Horey.
