Uniforms: Christmas break is a great time to refresh your uniform jeans. If they are starting to fade, you can use the break to re-dye them (tutorial) or replace them to avoid uniform violations in the second semester. This is also a great time to assess skirt length, as many of our students are taller than they were at the beginning of the school year. As always, please reach out to Mrs. Miller if you have any uniform-related questions or concerns.

Logos West Drop Off & Pick Up: Please pull all the way forward when dropping off or picking up students from the front parking lot.
