  • Uniforms need to be uniform, so all uniforms must be purchased from School Closet or Land’s End. Over the past couple of years, we have overlooked the pants that have been purchased elsewhere, but this year we will be enforcing the dress code once again. Some reminders:
    • Skirts and jumpers are to be no shorter than 3 inches above the top of the kneecap.
    • The only outerwear pieces allowed to be worn in class are the navy fleece and uniform sweaters.
    • Socks, tights, and leggings are to be white, black, gray, or navy with no pattern/print.
    • Shoes must be closed toe/closed heel – no crocs.
    • Please see the handbook for all the details on dress code (beginning on page 14).
  • Drop Off & Pick Up
    • Parents may begin dropping-off students at 8:30am. 
    • If you arrive before 8:30am:
      • At K-2, we have plenty of room in the carline.
      • At 3-6, we cannot have any cars in line because we use the same line for buses. At 3-6, if you arrive before 8:30am, you must park in the K-2 parking lot to wait then drive over.
    • All students must be picked up no later than 3:40pm.  
    • Shuttle Drop Off Map: If you utilize the morning shuttle at the US, please take a look at this map for drop off location. It is important to follow these routes for the safety of both our students and drivers.
