New Dress Code for 2018-19 School Year
Principal Hartfelder and the PTO are excited to announce a big change in our school dress code. Students will be allowed to wear Eakin t-shirts any day of the week starting this school year (not just Fridays!). Approved Eakin wear includes t-shirts sold by the PTO, class shirts, and shirts from sanctioned clubs. Shirts can be purchased online at
this link. Parents are encouraged to donate gently used Eakin wear to the exchange program to help all students take advantage of this new dress code. Solid color shirts with collars will still be allowed. The dress code for bottoms will remain the same (khaki, black or navy, no denim).
