Dear Parent/Guardian, 

Homecoming Spirit Week is upon us! This is a time to show off our Meteor pride and to let down our "collective hair."

Theme is "A Night in Paris"

Below is the dress code for homecoming week. Please check with Mr. Dowling, Mr. Miller or Dean Cal if you have questions regarding what is or is not appropriate for spirit week.

• Shorts or tank tops are NOT allowed (shorts or tank tops are never allowed on dress down days).
• Clothing must be appropriate (if in doubt wear something else).

TUESDAY: Journée des jumeaux Twin Day - Oct 5

• Students may be out of dress code only if they dress nearly identically with at least one other student or if two or more students are dressed in the same identifiable theme.
