School Uniform Reminder

Dear Falcon Families:

The weather has changed, which makes it a good time for reminders about shoes for children.
We greatly appreciate it when children follow dress code. Staff would prefer not to issue uniform violations and you can help at home by reviewing the uniform code with your children. Please remember these important uniform code guide lines:

From the Parent Student Handbook:

· SHOES:

* shoes must offer firm support,

*closed heel and closed toe, resist slipping, and stay on feet.

· *Solid black, white, brown, or navy shoes only (small logos and stripes ok) *Clarification: No red shoes, no fluorescent or brightly colored (except school colors) shoe laces.

Students may NOT wear:

· Crocs

Heelies

Boots of ANY kind (including UGGS and rain boots)--if time permits, children may change into rain boots for recess, but with the new campus, this is quite uneccesary.

High heels

Five-finger shoes

If you need more clarification about appropriate shoes, please check in the office.

On rainy, cold days, children may bring boots to change into for outdoor play. If feet are cold, wear warm socks and shoes.

· SOCKS: solid white, black, or navy socks must be worn and visible with all shoes

· Children run and play in PE and at recess every day at our school. They need shoes that facilitate this. We have minimal janitorial services at our school, and carpet cleaning/vacuuming is left to teachers and parent volunteers; boots wreak havoc on our carpet!
