Schrum Families,
Our students have had a wonderful start to the school year! Over the past few weeks, we’ve been focusing on learning school procedures and routines so that we can create a peaceful and most importantly, a productive learning environment.
We’re excited to dive into our curriculum, and it’s already been inspiring to see the creative and engaging projects happening in classrooms.
Please mark your calendars for Open House on Thursday, September 18, from 6:00–7:30 p.m. This is a great opportunity for parents and staff to connect, build relationships, and work together to support your student’s success this year.
We look forward to seeing you there!
Thank you,
Natalie Bako

All students should be able to dress comfortably for school and engage in the educational environment without fear of or actual unnecessary discipline or body shaming. Student dress code enforcement should not result in unnecessary barriers to school attendance. School staff should be trained and able to use student/body-positive language to explain the code and to address code violations.
Our student dress code is designed to:
- Maintain a safe learning environment in classes where protective or supportive clothing is needed, such as chemistry/biology (eye or body protection), dance (bare feet, tights/leotards), or PE (athletic attire/shoes).
- Allow students to wear clothing of their choice that is comfortable.
- Allow students to wear clothing that expresses their self-identified gender.
- Allow students to wear religious attire without fear of discipline or discrimination.
- Prevent students from wearing clothing or accessories with offensive images or language, including profanity, hate speech, and pornography.
- Prevent students from wearing clothing or accessories that denote, suggest, display or reference alcohol, drugs or related paraphernalia or other illegal conduct or activities.
- Prevent students from wearing clothing or accessories that will interfere with the operation of the school, disrupt the educational process,invade the rights of others, or create a reasonably foreseeable risk of such interference or invasion of rights.
- Prevent students from wearing clothing or accessories that reasonably can be construed as being or including content that is racist, lewd, vulgar or obscene, or that reasonably can be construed as containing fighting words, speech that incites others to imminent lawless action, defamatory speech, or threats to others.
- Ensure that all students are treated equitably regardless of race, sex, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion, cultural observance, household income or body type/size.
