SCHOOL UNIFORM REMINDER – Parents, we have noticed students pushing the boundaries of the school uniform policy in areas such as collared shirts, ripped pants, headbands, and, although red is a school color, it is not school appropriate for tights, leggings, or pants. If a student wears a uniform compliant hoodie, a collared uniform shirt must be worn underneath. While jeans are allowed on Fridays, with a spirit or uniform shirt, jeans may not have holes/rips in them, even if skin is not showing through. Ripped jeans may not be worn on Dollar Dress Days.
Students who are not in appropriate school uniform clothing/footwear/head wear will be asked to call home for new clothing starting next week. Please review the school uniform policy on the website here: http://northdavisprep.org/?page_id=237
JOSE MANUEL ESCOBERO-6th GRADE SCIENCE TEACHER OF THE YEAR – Congratulations to Jose Manuel Escobero, who was nominated and elected 6th Grade Science Teacher of the Year!
