Each student must wear khaki or navy blue pants, which is not sold by the school, and the assigned shirt for their grade grouping, which you may order from the school.
Regular attendance is necessary if Students are to make the desired and expected academic and social progress. However, the school recognizes that some absences are unavoidable.
Students are required to bring written documentation for absences within 5 days from the day they return from an absence. Parents who anticipate a Student’s absence of more than five consecutive days should immediately contact the Guidance Counselor.
