Uniform Policy
Please ensure that your child is following our Dress Code Policy. Many students change upon arriving at school and/ or arriving out of uniform. Students must wear an ARS jacket once inside the school building. In addition, sneakers only are required. Boots, Crocs, slides, and other shoes are prohibited as they are safety concerns.
If a student receive 3 violations by Thursday, families will receive a ClassTag message notifying parents that the student that violated the dress code will NOT be allowed to wear free dress. This information will also be shared with the students. Students will have to be in full school uniform on Friday.

Encore Reminders:
Encore times can impact your ability sign your child out of school. Please reach out to your child’s homeroom teacher at least two days before you sign your child out early so that we can better prepare for this change in transition. Due to safety reasons, we cannot allow parents to go to recess or our Art’s Building to sign your child out early. To prevent any delays, please send a reminder to your child’s teacher and let our front desk receptionist know!
Attention 4th Grade Families: Keeping with this, please be sure that your child arrives to school on time so that they do not miss encore. With closing ceremonies approaching fast, students are practicing for their performances. Please have your child to school by 7:45AM so that they do not miss their encore classes.
Nursing Needs:
We are completely out of Clorox wipes and sponges (for ice packs). If you can support us with some donations to finish the year strong, that would be great!
