Amities
Interviewed 4; invited 3 for the 2019-2020 school year

Dress Code Policy Feedback
District is revising lots of policies – wants feedback from parents before they revise the policy
Comments:
Policy says only sweaters with a school logo; Marta does not require this, but policy should reflect this.
Plain black and burgundy sweaters, cardigans, or hoodies (hood has to be worn down).
School “spirit” shirts can now be worn any day of the week. Only requirement is shirt has RDLS logo on it.
Exemptions from wearing a uniform: must be approved by Marta. Exemptions might be for religious reasons (for an entire year), or for a day (Girl Scouts).
