Uniforms
We have several unclaimed
school uniforms without names. Some of the sweaters are new. Please claim the uniforms
before they are sold as used for $1.00.
Parents this is a friendly
reminder that students are to wear a clean
school uniform. Parents can always exchange
outgrown uniforms for a larger jumper, skirt, or pant at no cost from the uniform exchange.
Every St. Dominic student is
to wear a uniform with our school logo, either the old or new logo. Tennis
shoes are to be black, gray, white, or brown blue with white or black shoe laces only. Uniform violations and detentions
will be issued to students out of school uniform. Please refer to the
parent/student handbook for uniform rules.
Alumni Corner
Are you part of a third
generation of St. Dominic alumni? Where
are those people who won the St. Dominic medals at graduation? Did you predict you would be doing what you
are doing now when you were 7th or 8th grade?
The Marketing Committee met recently to brainstorm some ways to connect with
all of you. “Stay tuned” for a flyer or a direct connection via e-mail or U.S.
mail.
Scoliosis Screening
The annual scoliosis screening
will be in two weeks. A nurse will screen the girls in 5th, 6th, and 7th grades.
The boys in 8th grade will also be screened for scoliosis. Please
and return the scoliosis form only if
you are not giving permission for your student to participate in the
screening.

portrait but boys are to wear a white shirt with a tie, black or dark dressy
