Dress Code

EAST YORK DRESS CODE REMINDER

With the warm weather finally upon us, I want to take a minute and remind everyone of the expectations of our school dress code. Students are expected to exercise good judgment in the selection of appropriate clothing throughout the school year.  *If clothing is deemed inappropriate, the student will be asked to change into acceptable attire.  Dress code expectations are as follows:

·         Blouses, shirts, and dresses with spaghetti straps (with shoulder straps less than three inches (3”) wide must be covered with a top or jacket at all times during the school day.

 

·         Shorts/skirts need to be an appropriate length.  A good rule of thumb is mid-thigh length or past fingertip length.   Short skirts, short shorts or any display of undergarments are not permitted.

 

·         Muscle shirts, tops with enlarged arm holes, halter tops,  and bare midriff tops are not permitted.

 

·         A student’s footwear needs to be suitable for gym and recess.  Sneakers are the best choice. Flip flops are permitted on non-gym days.

Thank you for your help in reinforcing the dress code expectations.  Let’s all enjoy the warm weather to come!

EAST YORK ART FEATURED AT THE DEMUTH MUSEUM

Congratulations to twenty one East York third grade students, whose art work was selected and displayed at the Charles Demuth Museum in Lancaster, Pa. during the month of December, 2012.  Supported by the museum’s “Art-In-A-Box” program, educational materials were generously offered for all third grade students to learn about the life and art of Lancaster native, Charles Demuth.  Based on the painting by Demuth called “The Figure Five in Gold” East York third grade students created designs depicting their own interpretations of Demuth’s style.  Space was given in the museum to display student work and an opening exhibition was generously offered for our students, parents, and friends.  The following East York students’ art work was featured:  Henry Ducker, Sophia Swengel, Noah West, Issac Patterson, Alena Shaub, Ella Smith, Julia Shiflet, Savannah Hunt, Eliana Rogers, Avery Meyers, Grace Hare, Alexis Thoman, Payton Buck, Sara Tran, Diana Lopez, Lyly Nguyen, Haley Berkebile, Riley Weaver, Kaithlyn Khuc, Matthew Aulthouse, Anneke Lam.

Thank you to Veterans

Some classrooms participated in honoring Veterans by creating "Thank You" cards for Veterans.  These cards were given out at Applebee's Resturant as Veterans enjoyed a free meal.  Veteran John Whitehead shared his appreciation of the act of kindness to Lauren Anthony, a fifth grade student in Mrs. Miller's class.
