Welcome Back Patriots!

Hooray! We all made it through the first day of school. Now is the perfect time for a few reminders.

1. Don’t forget we have a dress code. Just a reminder that here at La Paloma Academy South, in order to encourage a disciplined learning environment, we require students to adhere to our uniformed dress code. Solid-color polo shirts in the school colors—red, white, or navy blue—can be worn with slacks, shorts, capri pants, and skirts in khaki or navy blue. Jumpers in solid red, white, navy, or khaki are also acceptable. Please note that no skinny pants or shorts, or other form fitting clothing may be worn. Uniforms should not be either excessively baggy or too tight. The dress code applies to all students at all times during the school day, including after-school events, except when waived by an administrator for a specific activity.
2. Free- and Reduced-Lunch Program applications are available. We ask that all parents fill one out, as these applications are used to determine some of our federal funding. The standards for qualification of the lunch program change annually, so families are asked to fill out a new form every school year.
3. Parental involvement is encouraged. La Paloma Academy is always happy to welcome parent volunteers, though all volunteers at school and for school events must have background and fingerprint clearances on file with the office. This month you can help out at picture day, chaperoning the Back-to-School dances, assisting with the book fair, or by selling the NED yo-yos after school.
4. Don’t forget that we’ll be holding an Open House on August 5^th. Come by and tour the campus, see your children’s classroom and meet with their teacher.
