Volume:3   Issue: 31 April 8

Dear Assumption Family,

Spring Break is here! This is often a time of relaxation, family togetherness, and the chance to get outside after a long winter chill, although it does not seem that winter is ready to give up just yet.  

When we return to school on Monday April 16 students are permitted to wear the warm weather uniform.  It is not mandatory to switch to the shorts and skorts, but an option as weather conditions permit. 

As you all know we have switched uniform providers from Dennis to Blake's.  Students may still wear the white polo shirts supplied by Dennis until the end of this school year. Unfortunately, Dennis Uniform is unable to provide new polo shirts as they no longer carry our logo.  

Should you need to get new warm weather uniforms, Blake's Uniforms is ready to meet all of your uniform needs.  Students may start wearing the updated blue uniforms this Spring and be ready to go with the new look that will be our official uniform in the Fall of 2018.

All uniform information is listed below.

Have a happy, safe, and restful break!

   
Many Blessings,

Steven J. Santoli
Principal
New Uniform Now Available
New Design and Uniform  Supplier for 2018-19 School Year

The official school uniform for Assumption Catholic School will change effective at the start of the 2018-19 school year. Along with the change, a new exclusive provider has been selected. Blake's Uniform in Stratford will be our uniform provider effective immediately. 

The school uniform has been redesigned to include our updated logo and incorporate the color blue to honor our Blessed Mother Mary. Affordability, comfort, and simplicity were guiding principles in the redesign.   

Blake's Uniform is a locally owned and operated business with a convenient location, unparalleled customer service, and a simple to use online ordering system.  Unlike the previous supplier, Blake's has a large variety of items on hand and applies logos while you wait. This means that there should be no shortage or backorder issues on high demand items.

Samples of the uniforms are on display in the main lobby of the school and pictures are included below. Also find attached a spreadsheet outlining the new uniform code and requirements.  

Students are invited to wear the current uniform through the end of this year. Our current supplier will not be able to meet the need for warm weather uniforms this Spring.  On April 16, when we arrive back to school after Spring Break students are invited to wear the updated uniforms supplied by Blake's should they choose.
