Dress Code Reminder
Spring has arrived – plants are growing, kids are spending more time outside, and the temperatures are warming up. With these changes, what we wear also changes. Parents – please be mindful of what your child wears to school to ensure that they are in compliance with the HCPS Code of Conduct – Dress Code. Thanks in advance for adhering to these expectations.
