SIMPLE SYSTEMS ARE BEST!!
No more backpacks in class
Large Binder with dividers for each classor…similar system where students can easily access notes, homework, agenda, or other resources needed
Designated study area at home for maximum focus on learning!

STUDENTS IN DRESS CODE ARE NOT ADDRESSED FOR DRESS CODE
Go over district dress code before you do your school shopping.
Tights, shorter shorts, jeans with holes above fingertip length are common areas of concern
