Hello, Warrior families! I hope everyone enjoyed their Fall Break. On our first day back, we saw many students not in proper dress uniform. Remember, on Wednesdays we wear black dress shoes only, not tennis shoes. Please refer to the dress code on the Talkington website (https://core-docs.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/asset/uploaded_file/3628/tsywl/3017611/Dress_Code_2022-2023.pdf) if you have questions.
