We may not be able to go to Disneyland this Friday, but we will show our spirit with our favorite Disney clothes. If you'd like to participate, you can dress up in your favorite Disney t-shirts, sweatshirts, hats, masks, and of course Disney EARS! Please keep any costume type dresses or other costumes at home as they are only allowed for our Halloween parade. 

Also, there is no school on Monday, May 31st in honor of Memorial Day. Let's kick off our 3-day weekend with some fun. Our last spirit day was great so let's do it again!

As the weather is turning warmer, students are dressing to stay cool. While we want that, we also need to make sure that they are wearing appropriate clothing. With this school year having a focus on COVID and safety, our normal Parent Handbook that goes home every year, wasn't sent out in the fall, rather we created a new one to address the safety of returning to school with the COVID concerns IF we did in fact return. 

Now that we've been back, we have seen multiple students wearing inappropriate clothing. In this instance, we call home for a different piece of clothing, or shoes, so that the learning is not interrupted. Here are some reminders of clothing that is not to be worn at school: 

Appropriate Attire The home is the most encouraging environment for setting appropriate appearance standards. While we recognize the importance of individual expression, there clearly are certain styles that are not conducive to an educational environment. Students are expected to comply with the following:

♦ A student’s hairstyle, clothing, and jewelry, should not distract others from learning.

♦ Makeup is not allowed at school, unless you are in a performance. 

♦ Clothing with printed vulgarities and/or drug and alcohol-related themes are not acceptable.

♦ Ripped shirts, jeans, or shorts are not allowed

♦ Skin-tight or excessively baggy apparel, shorts shorter than fingertips when standing, bare midriffs, mini-skirts, and loose-fitting tank tops are not appropriate.

♦ Students must wear shoes at all times. Students’ sandals must have closed toes and back straps. Flip-flop sandals are not allowed.

♦ Although hats may be worn outdoors, students may not wear hats or sunglasses in any classroom or building on campus. (Governing Board Administration Regulation 5132)

Gang Related Apparel

Lynhaven School prohibits students from wearing gang-related apparel. Gang-related apparel is defined as clothing worn for the purpose of intimidation and/or exhibiting affiliation with gangs:

▪ Clothing or shoes with insignias, symbols, and/or numeric references to gangs

▪ Clothing or shoes with violence or violence related themes

▪ Clothing or shoes with printed logos depicting gang-related behavior

▪ Clothing with weapons or weapon-related themes

▪ Clothing such as jumpsuits, overcoats, shoes or other seasonal items worn for the purpose of intimidation and/or exhibiting affiliation with gangs

▪ Clothing all in one color worn for the purpose of intimidation and/or exhibiting affiliation with gangs

▪ Other gang regalia known by school officials and/or local law enforcement to be associated with gangs.

The entire school handbook from the 2019-20 school year is here for your reference to read.

 Thank you for your support and understanding in our efforts to keep children safe at school. 

It was a great first week back with all students on campus! We know these last 4 weeks will fly by and it will be the last day of school before we know it. We wanted to thank you for your support and flexibility during these interesting times. Here are a few reminders: 

-School is dismissed at 12:00,12:10, and 12:20 on Wednesdays. 
THANK YOU all for following our parent expectations and standing on the green Xs on the sidewalk and spacing yourself out from other people at drop off and pick up! 

-If you are driving to drop off or pick up, please stay with your car and pull forward as much as possible to allow for other cars to come into the parking lot. 

-The front of the school on the Cypress is not an area for pick up or drop off as it causes congestion on the street and an unsafe situation with trying to pull back into traffic. We have had cars get hit when trying to do so. 

-If you are in the pick up/drop off loop in the parking lot, it is imperative that students enter and exit your car on the PASSENGER side. Having your child enter or exit your car from the DRIVER side is dangerous for your child and our staff as they must walk into the drive through lane to escort your child. Students can slide by car seats to get to the driver side once inside your car. We'd encourage you to park in the neighborhood and come pick up your child at their gate if this is a concern for you. 

-At dismissal, we must ask that families leave campus so that we are following social distancing. Students playing on campus or families standing in groups, unless waiting for siblings, is unfortunately not allowed at this time. We really appreciate your understanding with this. 

Please feel free to contact the office if you have any questions. Again, THANK YOU for all of your help with us ensuring the safety of your children at school.
