❄️ Cold Weather Reminder for CSP Parents! ❄️
As the temperatures drop, we want to remind our families of a few important uniform guidelines:
Students may wear sweaters or jackets in class as long as they are part of the uniform and have the school logo.
Students are also welcome to wear plain white or black long-sleeved shirts underneath their uniform polos to stay warm.
Any jacket can be worn to school, but it must be stored in their cubby during class.
Thank you for helping us keep our students warm while staying within uniform guidelines! 🧥🐯 #CSPTigers #UniformReminders #StayWarm
