Spirit Week Dress Down

This week all scholars K-12 and staff are invited to take part in a Spirit Week Dress Down! Each day there will be an alternative festive attire they are invited to wear. We do apologize if this notice is the first you are hearing of this particular Spirit Week.  Our goal is to always provide at minimum two full weeks notice before any participatory event like this. Please view the flyer HERE.

Please remember that scholars not participating must be in full uniform. Even if participating in the Spirit Week, we still cannot allow Ripped Jeans, Pajamas, Crop Tops, Crocs or Slides for shoes. Normal policies around no hoods worn in the classroom are still in effect as well. Thank you for your understanding.

• Monday: Twin Day, pair off with a friend and dress alike.
• Tuesday: Ugly Sweater Day, show off your ugliest sweater.
• Wednesday: Anything but a backpack day (wear school color).  Scholars are invited to use a creative but functional alternative to their normal backpack.
• Thursday: Solstice Day, wear white and blue.
• Friday: Winter Wonderland: Wear any winter or holiday inspired colors.
