A  First Day of School Poem

I gave you a little wink and smile
As you entered my room today.
For I know how hard it is to leave
And know your child must stay.
You've been with him for a few years now
And have been a loving guide,
But now, alas, the time has come
To leave him at my side.
Just know that as you drive away
And tears down your cheeks may flow
I'll love him as I would my own
And help him learn and grow.
For as a parent, I too know
How quickly the years do pass
And that one day soon it will be my turn
To take my child to class.
So please put your mind at ease
And cry those tears no more
For I will love him and take him in
When you leave him at my door.

School Uniforms

We strongly encourage our students to wear uniforms. We hope that it will be feasible, practical and cost effective. The uniforms consist of polo shirts in the spring and summer and turtle necks during the fall and winter. Shorts are permitted during the warm months however, they must be knee length.

Monday - red polo shirt; navy bottom

Tuesday - navy polo shirt; khaki bottom

Wednesday - white polo shirt; blue bottom

Thursday - red polo shirt; khaki bottom

Friday - jeans or shorts and shirt of your choice
