IMPORTANT! Uniform rules still in force!

June 1, 2015
Dear Parents:

Please be aware that students are still expected to come in full Bache-Martin uniform every day! Please do not let your child persuade you that we have a no uniform day or that they do not need to wear uniforms any longer.  On days they have Physical Education class they must be in the Bache-Martin gym uniform.  We keep track of uniforms every day.  Many students are coming to school out of uniform. Please remember that wearing a hoody anywhere in the building constitutes being out of uniform.  Please refer to the 8th grade agreement for the rules.  We would hate to see students unable to walk in Closing Exercises or  be excluded from other activities because they are not wearing the uniform on a daily basis. Most of our students have earned these privileges, so let's make sure they enjoy them.

Thank you all for your support,

The 8th grade team
