IMPORTANT K-8 DRESS CODE INFORMATION
Please click here to review the Radcliffe Creek School K-8 dress code. Our goal with the Dress Code is to teach students the importance of presenting your best self each day. We would like every family to send their students to school dressed according to the policy. Of course, we are able to accommodate each student's needs with regard to dress code. Please contact your child's homeroom teachers with any concerns if you have not already done so. Also, the Squad Locker gear will be included as dress code items. All polos and sweatshirts will be allowed on "dress code" days. Sweatpants may be worn on gym days for the Nest and to gym class for the Marsh.
As the weather becomes colder, please send students with layers. Some classrooms are warm and some can be on the chilly side.
Labeling all clothes is VERY helpful and will help us make sure all your items return home at the end of the day.
If you are interested in getting clothes from the PTC Swap Room but cannot make it into school, please email Julie Blyman.
