Parents,
This is the announcement for tomorrow morning at Centre. With the weather becoming warmer, we have witnessed an uptick in dress code violations so I have asked teachers and staff to make a concerted effort to enforce the rules. The dress code can be found on page 11 of the student handbook. The handbook is on the school website under student information.
Students, please be advised that teachers and staff have been instructed to enforce the dress code located in the student handbook. Strict enforcement will begin this Thursday, March 27th, so please be advised that the rules will be enforced beginning Thursday and continue through the remainder of the year. Thank you for your cooperation.
