Uniform Expectations: Leggings, Shoes and Socks

We know there are many aspects to our dress code and uniform. Though our expectation is that the entirety of the uniform is adhered to, we want to give some special emphasis to particular areas of our expectations weekly so we can deep dive into any questions you may have. This week, we ask that all families especially take a close look at our policy on student shoes and socks. If you have any questions at all, please reach out to Mary Pim, our Dean of Students. Below is a quote from the Family Handbook (p. 42).

b. No colors on the shoes or soles (black shoes must have black soles and white shoes must have white soles)
c. No neon or bright colored shoelaces (black shoes must have black laces and white shoes must have white laces)
d. Style: Athletic (tennis, Keds) shoes. (No slip-ons or dress shoes)

Donate to the Lunchroom

Our students go through many spoons, forks, and napkins each lunch period. In order to keep these items stocked, we rely on donations to the lunchroom. Please consider sending in an item or two to help! Just label the item "PSO Lunchroom" and send it in with your scholar.
Parent Volunteer Opportunities

As part of the Great Hearts Roosevelt family, every single one of you are members of the PSO! There will be many opportunities throughout the year to offer your time and talent to the community.

If you are interesting in volunteering and supporting our school on campus in any way, all families must submit their application through our secure "Raptor" system. The link to this can be found here: https://www.greatheartsamerica.org/volunteer/. This applies even to families who already have a fingerprint clearance card.

Raptor Clearance is a quick and easy background check that takes only a few minutes and costs $5. You will know within a few days if it has been approved. 

If you would like information on our PSO, aspects of available volunteer options or to just add your name to our volunteer interest list please email our PSO President at PSOpresident@greatheartsroosevelt.org.
