Our Uniform Policy is that students should wear pants, shorts, jumpers or skirts that are dark blue and wear collar shirts or blouses that are white. NO JEANS, NO ‘BAGGY’ PANTS OR OVERSIZED, INAPPROPRIATE CLOTHES AT ANY TIME. Uniforms will be sold afterschool on a Wednesday once a month. Additional information will be sent home at a later date.

SAFETY ON THE WAY TO SCHOOL,
AT SCHOOL AND GOING HOME FROM SCHOOL

Thank you for helping to make the delivery and pickup of students at the Alexandria and Oakwood gates safe for all students. PLEASE DO NOT DOUBLE PARK OR STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET TO LET CHILDREN OUT, ESPECIALLY WITH CROSS TRAFFIC. We want every child to be safe and to cross the street at the crosswalks, not the middle of the street.

Please remind your child that NO TOYS of any kind -- toy guns, playstations, electronic games, card games, Gameboys, Sony PSP's, Nintendo DS's, music players or any other distractions -- should be brought to school. These items are NOT allowed at school either before, during or after school!!!

Also, please discuss with your child that all students at Alexandria are expected to act safely, respectfully and responsibly to each other, to all teachers and to all staff members at all times.

LOST AND FOUND ITEMS

Lost & Found garments are located in the Main Building hallway near the Main Office. Any clothing items not claimed by the end of the each month will be donated to Goodwill. Please remember to mark all your child's clothing with their name to allow easier identification. Thank you.

ATTENDANCE IS IMPORTANT TO LEARNING.
BE AT SCHOOL EVERYDAY.

Students may come in late with a doctor note or
picked up early to go to the doctor, etc.
