Dear Parents:
We wish to thank everybody for your cooperation in not buying snacks from the street vendors near our gates during dismissal time.
On Thursday, October 23, we will be observing "Red Ribbon Week." The Red Ribbon campaign was started after the kidnapping, torture and brutal murder of Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Agent Enrique "Kiki" Camarena in 1985 by drug traffickers in Mexico. Since then, a tradition began of wearing red ribbons as a symbol of intolerance towards to use of illegal drugs and to raise awareness on the abuses of legal drugs, alcohol and tobacco. We will be supporting the Red Ribbon Campaign this week in presenting a united and visible commitment toward a creation of a DRUG-FREE AMERICA! On Tuesday, October 28th, we are asking everybody to wear something red in support of staying Drug-Free and Alcohol-Free!
Also, please always remember that your support and involvement in your child's education are extremely important to their success. Your participation and encouragement does make a vital and positive impact on their academic achievement!!! -- WORKING TOGETHER, WE WILL BE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH THE MOST FOR OUR CHILDREN!!!

Please help us by making sure that students are wearing their school uniforms. 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 ÔBAGGYÕ 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.
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 & 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.
