The administration is asking for your assistance. It seems to be a trend for students to draw all over themselves covering their bodies in pen drawings.
In addition, the students are wearing spandex shirts with long sweatshirts or T shirts covering up the shorts, making it look as if they are not wearing shorts. We have had conversations with them regarding both. If a student is seen with drawings all over themselves or their bottoms cannot be seen due to an oversized sweatshirt or T Shirt, the parent/guardian will be called to provide them with a change of clothes as that is part of our dress code policy. Please have conversations with the children about how ink is bad for their skin and how appropriate dress codes should be followed at school. Thank You, TCMS Administration.
