I know “are” was on the list last week. Several students missed it. It is an important word so I am putting it on the list again.

Announcements
*I think some of the students have grown over the summer! Clothes may not fit the same as they did at the beginning of the season. Please note that students’ shorts and skirts should come to at least mid thigh. When students hold their hands at their sides, their shorts/skirt should at least come to their fingertips. Students not wearing appropriate length clothing will be asked to change. Thank you.
*Please send your child’s art portfolio to school if you have not already done so.
