Parent Volunteers
Now that school is in full swing, so are our volunteering efforts. This is just a quick reminder that we, as volunteers, need to adhere to the LTMS dress code as we are guests on the campus. We also want to be good examples for our students.
Remember: Skirts, dresses, and shorts must be at least fingertip length. Midriffs must be covered, no see-through clothing. No tank tops or spaghetti straps allowed. Sleeveless shirts should extend to the edge of the collarbone and fit appropriately under the arm.
