Back-to-School Shopping
Please keep in mind the school's dress code when doing your back-to-school clothing shopping for your child. Closed-toe shoes/sandals (you all have been GREAT about this!), no spaghetti straps, no shortie shorts/skirts/dresses-they should be longer than the child's finger tips when held at their sides and keep in mind how tight the clothes are-the children work on the floor and need to be comfortable getting up and down.
Backpacks
Same as in the past, Please no backpacks as they are too large and we have no room to store them. I promise, your child will never have enough papers to take home to necessitate a backpack. I am asking that tiny backpacks stay home as well. They cause arguments amongst the children about what is OK to bring to school. We found that those "Sack-style" backpacks, although small and compact, were a pain. Children's things, and limbs, get tangled up in the strings and they hang down to their knees. Small tote bags are best. The dollar store always them! I appreciate your planning when it comes to this item!
