Happy 2025 Eagles! As we welcome back students this week, just some key Dress Code Policy Reminders:
This week is going to be cold as we return to school, but please note students cannot wear sweatpants. This was becoming an issue right before the break. Students will call their parents to bring a change of clothes if students wear sweatpants. Bossier Parish does not allow sweatpants. Outerwear reminder: The only hooded garment (including jackets) students may wear is the one purchased from our school spirit store or through our school spirit groups. Thank you for helping with our dress code! See you all bright and early tomorrow morning!
We hope you have enjoyed the holiday break!
As a reminder, Monday, January 6 is a teacher in-service day. We look forward to welcoming back our students for the second semester on Tuesday, January 7.
