Staff Shout Out!
We’re proud to celebrate Afterschool Professionals Appreciation Week! 🙌
Every afternoon, professionals assist with academic support, offer social-emotional guidance, and lead hands-on activities. They make afterschool hours meaningful!
Let’s thank our volunteers and staff for creating safe, welcoming spaces for students to grow and explore. 🙏
As the warmer weather returns, let's take a moment to refresh ourselves on the dress code (reference Board Policy 502.1 and Iowa Code 279.8). Dressing appropriately reflects respect for the learning environment and ensures everyone feels comfortable and confident. ⭐
Common decency includes, but is not limited to, the following:
✅Shoes/sandals must be worn at all times.
✅Hats (billed and stocking) are prohibited, as are other headwear or head dressings that cause a distraction.
✅Gloves are not to be worn in school unless approved by administration or used for safety reasons within a class.
✅Midriffs, cleavage, and undergarments must be covered. Transparent clothing, tube tops, revealing tank tops, and spaghetti-strapped attire are unacceptable.
✅Pants must be worn at waist level. Shorts, skirts, and dresses must be of “fingertip” length or longer. Revealing holes in clothing are unacceptable.
✅Clothing with reference to drugs, tobacco, or tobacco lookalike products, alcohol, or sex is unacceptable, as is clothing with profanity, suggestive pictures, or inappropriate, offensive or suggestive language.
✅Large coats, large jackets, and other outerwear that causes a distraction to education will not be allowed in the classroom.
✅Chains, spikes, or any hard objects (including tools, pliers, etc.) worn on the wrists, arms, waist, or legs are prohibited.
✅Anything gang related will not be allowed.
Students in violation will be asked to change to appropriate apparel or will be sent home. School attendance policies will be in effect during the student’s absence.
