Graduation Slideshow Information
Graduation is just around the corner, and the senior class officers are getting started on slideshows, which will be shown at the awards banquet and at the senior breakfast, but not at the graduation ceremony. We ask that every senior electronically send a school-appropriate baby photo and senior photo for the awards banquet slideshow. We would also appreciate any type of group shot from the past for the breakfast slideshow, but this is not a requirement.

Please send photos and any questions you have to one of these three email addresses:
Ms. Morlan, Erin Morlan, Fritz Burgher

If you need assistance scanning your photos, please contact a senior class officer and they can help you submit your photos at the school. Also, we ask that you name each picture with the senior’s name and the type of photo and be sure they are in JPEG format (i.e. johndoebaby.jpg). All photos must be submitted by March 1st.

Dress Code
There are strong connections between students’ academic performance, appearance, and conduct.  Inappropriate student appearance may cause material and substantial disruption to the school environment or present a threat to the health and safety of students, employees, and visitors on school grounds.

Students are expected to dress appropriately for the school setting at all times.  Certain clothing shall not be allowed in school.  The following includes, but is not limited to:

  1. Any garment that displays profanity or vulgarities, racial, sexual or derogatory remarks/innuendos, offensive images or slogans.
  2. Clothing that advertises alcohol, tobacco or other illegal products.
  3. Clothes that are too revealing (i.e. halter tops, bare midriffs, backless/strapless tops, tube tops, plunging necklines, exposed cleavage, undergarments and straps visible in any way, etc.)
  4. Caps, hats, hoods, sunglasses, bandannas, etc. are not to be worn in the building during the school day.
  5. Footwear must be worn at all times.
  6. Pants, shorts, skirts, sweat pants, etc. are to be worn above the hips.
  7. Shorts, skirts and dresses shall reach the end of the fingertips when standing up straight and arms are relaxed at the side.

The administration makes the final determination on the appropriateness of the student’s appearance.  Students inappropriately dressed will have the opportunity to correct their appearance or they will be sent home.  Any school missed due to inappropriate dress will be considered unexcused time away from school.
