Uniform Policy:
Mondays-Thursdays, students must wear a uniform shirt. Blue for grades PK-5th and White for 6th grade with navy bottoms. On Fridays, students may wear a spirit shirt with jeans without rips. If students wear shorts, they must reach the end of the student’s fingertips or no shorter than 2 inches above the knee.

Early Release Fridays:
Please remember that every Friday is an early release day. All scholars will be dismissed at 1:00 PM. Please ensure transportation methods are arranged accordingly.

Arrival & Dismissal Procedures:
Morning drop-off time is at 7:30 AM, and early pick-up ends at 2:15 PM Mon-Thurs and 11:40a on Fridays. If you need early drop-off or late pick-up, Crayon Club (6:00a-6:00p *fee*) or the 21st Century Program (3:25-6:00p *free*) is available. Thank you for your strict adherence to this policy.

Attendance:
Attendance Matters Every Day! – TEXAS STATE LAW REQUIRES A WRITTEN EXCUSE FROM THE PARENT OR GUARDIAN WHENEVER A STUDENT IS ABSENT FROM SCHOOL.

To change an absence to an excused absence, a parent note or doctor’s note must be received in the attendance office no later than three days after the student returns to school. If a note is not received, the absence will remain unexcused (students who miss 10 or more school days may receive an attendance behavior contract and could be subject to compulsory attendance laws). A phone call does not take the place of a written note. Notes can be submitted to Mrs. Hairston at shairston@rhodesschool.org.

As a reminder, school starts at 7:55 AM, and your child is tardy at 8:05 AM. They must be signed in at the front office if you arrive after 8:05 AM. Three tardies are equivalent to one absence, so please bring your scholar to school on time.
