Important Information for the New Year:

SCHOOL UNIFORMS

Uniform inspections will be done regularly.

♦ Boys and girls in Pre-School and Pre-K must wear red shorts and a Triple C T-shirt. Uniform shirts must be tucked in at all times, except girls’ tailored V-neck shirts.

♦ White or black socks above the ankle must be worn. Skid-free white or black whole shoes are required for the regular uniform, and skid-free sneakers (any color ) are required to be worn with the P.E. uniform. “Wheelies” are not allowed.

♦ Girls are allowed to wear one small pair of (identical) ear -rings in the lowest position of the ear lobes. Boys are not allowed to wear earrings. Boys and girls may wear limited arm, hand and neck jewelry. All jewelry must

be small. ♦ Visible tattoos, body piercings, eyebrow or mustache

patterns, and unnatural hair coloring are not allowed. Modest make-up is allowed for Grades 9-12 girls.

♦ Boys must be clean-shaven—Mustaches are allowed. Hair must be short— off the ears, off the collar and off the eyes.

Our children should always present a clean, neat and attrac-tive appearance. This requires the concern of all—students, teachers, and parents—not only to have uniforms clean and pressed, but also to engender a spirit of pride (in the positive sense) in the student for his/her appearance.

Dear Parents and Guardians, It's another great day! I greet you with Jesus' joy! Allow me to extend a hearty welcome to our new and returning students. Our 2014-2015 school year has begun and the hallways 'are alive' with the sounds of students' laugh-ter. This is always a pleasant sound to hear. We had a great ending last school year. We graduated twenty seniors and nine of them have collectively received almost $1,000,000.00 in scholarship funds. Our three modular class-rooms are now open to accommodate our influx of stu-dents. We have employed nine new faculty members and we are ready for another great year. On behalf of the Board of Directors, thank you for your partnership with Triple C School. Let's roll!
