Dress Code/ Water Bottle Policy

Dear SRLA Families,

I hope this message finds you well. As we approach the third trimester on Monday, I wanted to take a moment to remind you of our school’s dress code policy and guidelines regarding the size of water bottles students are permitted to bring to school.

Dress Code Policy:

Our school’s dress code policy is designed to maintain a positive and focused learning environment while also ensuring the safety and comfort of all students. As a reminder, the dress code includes guidelines such as:

1.     Appropriate length of skirts, skorts and jumpers.

2.     Socks: Navy, blue, black, or white socks, ankle style only for both boys and girls. No-show socks are not permitted. Girls may wear tights.

3.     Shoes must be navy blue, black dark brown, oxfords, tie shoes or loafers.

4.     Slippers and crocks are not permitted. Ugg boots may be worn on dress down days only.

5.     Boys must have their dress shirts always tucked in.

6.     Girls are permitted to wear one pair of small (non-dangling) earrings.

7.     Colorless nail polish only is permitted. Artificial nails are not permitted. No makeup may be worn.

We kindly ask for your support in ensuring that your child adheres to these guidelines when selecting their uniform for school. Your cooperation greatly contributes to fostering a respectful and inclusive atmosphere for SRLA.

*** Reminder: Spring uniforms begin on Monday, April 8, 2024.

Water Bottle Size Policy

In addition to the dress code policy, SRLA would like to remind you of our school’s policy regarding the size of water bottles students are allowed to bring to school. To ensure the safety the safety of all students and minimize disruptions in the classroom, we ask that students limit the size of their water bottles to less than 26 oz. This helps prevent accidental spills and ensures that students have access to hydration throughout the day. Remember, students can always refill their water bottles at our filtered water fountains.

Your assistance in reminding your child about these policies is greatly appreciated. By working together, we can maintain a positive and conductive learning environment for all students.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding either policy, please do not hesitate to contact us. Thank you for your attention to these important matters.

Warm regards,

Principal Underwood
