Here are the new guidelines for this year's dress code. The main differences this year are that shirts do not require a collar and pants/shorts/skirts can be any solid color, khaki, or jeans.

Tops
  • Short sleeve, long sleeve or sleeveless (with wide straps) in solid colors. No logo bigger than 2 inches, no text, collars not required.
  • Sylvan Park Spirit wear tops (including spirit wear hoodies) are always permitted.
  • Any sweaters, cardigans, or additional layer of clothing that is worn throughout the day should be a solid color with no logo bigger than 2 inches, no text, collars not required.
  • Headwear permitted for religious reasons only (no hoods or hats may be worn in the building)
Bottoms
  • Bottoms may be any solid color pants/khakis/jeans/shorts/ skirts (no holes/rips).
  • Solid-colored leggings with a shirt/top that is fingertip length/completely covers the bottom.
  • Leggings (including patterns) may be worn under dress/skirts/shorts
  • Shorts/dresses/skirts must be to fingertip length/completely cover the bottom
Shoes
  • Shoes must have a closed toe. No flip flops.
  • Tennis shoes required on PE days (highly encouraged)
Fridays - Spirit Day/Team Day (wear your favorite Team shirt/sweatshirt)

Any Non-SSA days will be communicated via call-out or by your child’s teacher.

Kindergarten Coffee

All Kindergarten families are invited to join the Kindergarten teachers via Zoom for an informational meeting on Friday, August 5 from 8-9 a.m. to learn the ins and outs of starting at Sylvan Park. Go to sylvanparkschool.org for the Zoom link or click here to join the meeting. We hope you can join us!

Kindergarten Tote Bags

Kindergarten students will NOT need a backpack as they will be using Sylvan Park tote bags. These bags fit in their Kindergarten lockers and are easy for the students to carry independently. Please send in $10 (or a check made to the Sylvan Park PTO) to cover the cost of your child's bag - payments can be made at the Ice Cream Social or sent in during the first week of school. Tote bags will be sent home with Kindergarteners at the Ice Cream Social.

Ice Cream Social & Roster Reveal

Join us on Friday, August 5 from 3-5 p.m. for our roster reveal/meet your teacher/ice cream social! Feel free to bring your school supplies that day so your child does not have to carry them on the first day of school. All attendees will be able to come in the building, see their new classroom, and briefly meet their teacher.

Sign Up to Help at the Ice Cream Social

Please click here to sign up to help at our Ice Cream Social/Roster Reveal on Friday, August 5. Handing out ice cream is an easy and fun gig!

Additional Ways to See the School

You will have the opportunity to see your child's classroom and meet the teacher 8/5/22, 3p-5p. If you are a KINDERGARTEN parent who is unable to attend the Ice Cream Social on 8/5, you will have an opportunity on Monday, 8/8, 12p-12:30p, to see your child's classroom and briefly meet their teacher. School will be in session until 3p for 1st-5th grades so, this is a K parent opportunity only, for those who missed the 8/5 event. Please be aware that we are required to scan each adults driver's license before entering the main building so come with your driver's license. Please come through the front entrance of the school building to check-in at the front office.

We welcome our new SP families! If you are in grades 1st-5th and missed our 8/5 Roster reveal/ Meet the Teacher/ Ice Cream Social, we have arranged special tour times just for you! Please see syvlanparkschool.org to sign up for tours 8/16 or 8/23 at 9a or 9:45a. Feel free to contact ruthabutler@gmail.com with questions.

Parent Work Days

Let's support our beloved Sylvan Park teachers by completing some tasks to get their classrooms ready for the beginning of the year! Sign up here for a shift at school on Saturday, August 6 and/or Sunday, August 7 between 9:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. Come ready to roll up your sleeves and get things looking beautiful!

Car Rider Arrival & Dismissal Procedures
