Update from Mil-wigs

You may recall the dialogue the students engaged in this fall regarding our dress code.  Since that time, our SCA has taken the issue up and has begun to consider updates to our code to ensure that is remains in line with contemporary standards of dress for a public setting.  The group is led by Ellie Palazzolo and Raleigh Brown and the group will continue their work through early spring.  The SCA dress code proposal (when complete) will then be reviewed by a community group (including parents and staff), prior to making its way to our superintendents and Board.

In addition we are grateful to a generous parent who donated a couch with which we were able to upgrade the “freshman” hall.  Our students love the upgrade to the decor and are making great use of the gift.

Finally, on behalf of our students, please accept my deep appreciation for your support of our students through your gifts to our foundation.  Whether your gifts are restricted to a particular activity/team/club or designated to the annual fund, the support we receive enables us to deliver powerful learning opportunities to our students (your children).  Thank you!

As always, if I can be of service to you, please call, email, or visit.  Go Dragons!
