Week of September 14-18 with late directions for washing your tie-dye shirt.

Thanks for meeting virtually for our September Parent Conferences last Thursday and Friday. I’m grateful to hear your prayers for your children. It’s a privilege to join you this year. I apologize for the technical issues in some of our meetings as well as getting behind on the end of the day on Friday. As always, contact me with any concerns or questions.

If by chance you haven’t already looked up the directions for first time washing your child’s tie-dye, here they are….

  1. Wearing gloves, remove shirt from bag and remove rubber bands.
  2. Rinse in cold water until the water runs clear.
  3. Wash the shirt in hot water with no other clothing items as the dye will bleed.
  4. Dry on high heat as well.
  5. Students may wear this shirts on Fridays or save for 1960s day in February or March.

Things are picking up this week.
