Dress Code Reminders
Thank you for your assistance in making sure your student is in dress code each morning.
Just a few reminders:
-Socks are not required. If socks are worn, they must be white.
-Belts are not required. If a belt is worn, it must be black, brown, navy or uniform plaid.
-Embellishments are not permitted on any clothing. (No ruffles, accent stripes, lace, sequins, etc.)
-Skirts and dresses must be no shorter than 3" above the knee.
-Shoes must be closed toe and closed heel. No sandals or sandal type shoes, knee-high or calf-high sneakers, high heels or boots.
Mass Dress Requirements
Effective immediately, students will not be permitted to change clothes after Mass. The disruption and delay to our school day caused by the large number of students changing clothes necessitates this new rule. (Students that have PE on Mass days will be permitted to change clothes; and boys will be allowed to remove their ties and store them in backpacks.) Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Back Lot Drop Off & Pick Up Reminder
In order to keep traffic flowing in our back lot, please remember to enter from 15th Ave. Our Jefferson Street gate is
exit only and right-hand turn only during drop off and pick up hours.
Oregon Battle of the Books
The Oregon Battle of the Books, (OBOB), is a statewide program for reading motivation and comprehension sponsored by the Oregon Association of School Libraries. The goals are to encourage reading for enjoyment, broaden reading interests, increase reading comprehension, and promote cooperative learning. This is a voluntary activity. Students who would like to participate form teams of 4-5 players. Among them, they will read 16 pre-selected books. Each team is required to have a parent coach who will help them organize, read and discuss the books. The coach also asks the students questions about the books in preparation for "battles" which begin at the school level in January. All teams will battle at least twice in the preliminary round. There are two divisions, 3rd-5th and 6th-8th. Teams may be formed from more than one grade within a division. The top team in each division goes on to the regional and possibly state competitions. For more information please contact Mrs. Booth or Mrs. Gori in the library at ext. 226 or visit the
OBOB website.
