Jackets and Dress Code
We continue to have student's out of dress code with jackets that are not royal blue, light gray or white.  Black has become quite popular, but it does not fit the current dress code. Students should not wear black jackets during school. Because there has been some confusion about black as an acceptable color, we will allow students to wear black jackets for the next two weeks. When students return in January, teachers will be enforcing the existing dress code.

In January, our new 8th grade elected officials, Tommy Lai and McHaley Ho will be invited to present recommendations for changes to the dress code to the SDMC.  The SDMC will review the current dress code and make any necessary recommendations to me.

Toys for Tots Toy Drive
Our Teen Leadership class will be sponsoring our Toys for Tots Toy Drive this year.  They will be collecting donations every day this week.
