Quick Tips from Nurse Banks
Wash your hands often to prevent spreading germs!

News from the Cafeteria
Students are offered choices in the Clark school lunch room everyday. If students decide to bring their own food and drink to the lunch room it is very important that they do not share these items with other students. While sharing is very generous, we can not share within the lunchroom. Concerns about lunch room sharing include:

• Food allergies
• Equitable sharing that can result in disappointment
• Food spills

Student Uniforms
Students are expected to wear the school uniform:

• White shirts/blouses with collars (shirts are not to contain printing or pictures) or Clark School shirts.
• Shirts are to be tucked into pants, skirts and jumpers.
• Navy blue pants, skirts, jumpers with a belt.
• Solid navy blue or white sweaters or sweatshirts are allowed if cold.
• Hoods are not permitted.
  

Student Attendance
Regular attendance and punctuality is essential for success in school.

• Students should not arrive at school before 8:45 a.m.
• The entry bell rings at 9:15a.m.
• Any student who enters the building after the 9:20 a.m. tardy bell is late.
• Students who are absent MUST bring a note signed by a parent upon return to school explaining the absence or they will be marked as truant.

Dress Code

All children in grades K-8 are required to wear uniforms. Teachers are required to enforce the Dress Code based on the premise that a student’s appearance has a great impact on his/her behavior and academic performance.

• White shirts/blouses with collars or Clark School shirts. Shirts are to be tucked into the pants.
• Navy blue pants, skirts, jumpers, walking shorts (knee length only) can be worn in warm weather.
• Solid navy blue or white sweaters or hoodless sweatshirts are allowed if cold.
• Uniform tops and bottoms are to be solid in color and are not to contain printing or pictures or stripes.
• Blue jeans are not acceptable.
• When wearing long pants, both pant legs should be down.
• Pants are to be worn at the waist with a belt – not hanging low and baggy.
• Coats, jackets and head coverings are to be hung in the closets/lockers and are not to be worn in the school during the day.
• Shoes should be dark colored (black, brown or blue) casual or dress. No gym shoes.

Because of gang-related symbols, male students are not to wear earrings or band-aid cover-ups and are not to wear their hair with graphics cut into the style. Rubber bands on the wrist or pant legs are also prohibited.

Female students are not allowed to wear earrings affixed to the nose or any place on the face except for the ears.

Rings, necklaces and/or neck chains, may be worn but no more than 1 (one) of the above mentioned at a time and smaller than 1 inch.

On gym days, students may wear Clark logo or plain blue sweat pants, Clark logo or plain white tee shirts under their collared shirt and gym shoes.

Parents will be contacted when students are inappropriately dressed.
