Dear Parents and Guardians,

Tomorrow is our first Tag Day of the year (a day when students can come to school out-of-uniform for a “tag” of $1.00).  Tag Days are not compulsory.

Please review the text below from the school Handbook regarding appropriate attire for Tag Days.

I look forward to seeing you tomorrow evening for our Back2School Picnic!

God bless you!

Tag Day

Several times throughout the year, the school will sponsor a “Tag Day,” an out-of-uniform day. Dates for Tag Days are located on the Parent and Teacher Calendars. The cost per “tag” is $1.00. It is not compulsory to participate in Tag Days.

Children must dress appropriately on “Tag Days.” Children wearing shirts bearing inappropriate, vulgar, or tawdry logos or images, wearing mini-skirts, short-shorts (no shorter than two inches above the knee), tank tops, mid-drifts, spaghetti strap tops, and/or tight or over-sized clothing will be asked by the principal to phone a parent or guardian so that other, more appropriate clothing may be brought to school for the child to wear for the day.

Other reminders: pants must be waist-high (no hip-huggers) or baggy pants. Flip-flops, backless sandals, or platform or stacked heels (must be no more than a ½ inch high) are not suitable for school wear. Children may not coordinate clothing with a small group which excludes other children in the class. If a student chooses to wear a part of the uniform on a Tag Day, the uniform must be worn in its totality.

If a child has physical education on a “Tag” Day, he or she must bring tennis shoes to school. A grade reduction will occur if a child does not bring his or her tennis shoes to school on a “Tag” Day.

The mission of St. Elizabeth Catholic School is to provide the highest quality spiritual formation in an environment that is rooted in the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. Toward this end, the administration, faculty, staff, and parents endeavor to live and learn in a community of faith where each individual is recognized, respected, and encouraged to grow. We strive for academic excellence through the creation of a strong curriculum. St. Elizabeth School is committed to the creation of a faith community educated to achieve academic success and to reach out to all people in faith and compassion to bring the message of Jesus Christ.
