School Mission – Boundless
STEM: Learning & Leading
L&N Student Mission –
#Own it!
School Ops:
· Please help a
classmate gather data by taking the 4-question survey here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScMENZUV64roNIggyc9xK0XvKNtSqFa0XAsRrtUASg8qRmIGg/viewform
·
Interested in
discount coupons for tuxedo rentals? Stop by the office to pick one
up for Regal Tuxedo, located in Windsor Square and Knoxville
Center. Thank you, Mrs. Brown!
·
It looks like everyone is shopping for and unpacking their
warm weather clothes – just a reminder – no thin/spaghetti straps, shoulders
must be covered (that means “cold shoulder” tops should have a thick band and
not be worn off the shoulder), torso of all genders should be covered – front
and back (no bare stomach/midriff or bare back), and shorts and skirts should
at least cover the upper thigh (no “booty” shorts or micro-minis). Think in terms of dressing for the kind of
job/future you want – keep your weekend and party wear for those occasions –
not school. Thank you for your
cooperation and not making your teachers and administrators have to be fashion
police. You don’t want us to hassle you
and we have other things to do.
