Dear Parent(s), 

The year is almost over, and the summer is upon us. Where does the time go? We have just finished the CRCT and are awaiting the scores. We should have the scores back before the end of the school year. At this time, I would like to remind you of a few activities that will be taking place at the end of the year.

Please mark your calendar with the above dates. Please also note that only students with an 80% average or higher and the required grade-level number of points will be allowed to participate in the AR celebration. Please encourage your child to read because there is still time. 
We still have yearbooks left for $19.00 each. Also, please stop by and look through the numerous bags of coats, hats, etc. that we have collected over the year. All items that are left will be sent to the Salvation Army during the summer, so please come by and check. 
We also need your help with student’s behavior at school and on the bus. As it begins to get warm, students tend to misbehave more than normal. Please have a talk with your child to remind him or her that school is not over until May 21st. Students also need to be reminded about their dress. Remember, when wearing shorts or skirts, a good rule of thumb is to place your hand down by your side, and if your index finger touches skin then the shorts or skirt is to short. Students who violate the dress code will call home for a change of clothing. Your help with the above issues will help us all to have a smooth and peaceful end to the school year. Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.
We wanted you to be aware of the uniform policy that is mandatory for all Baldwin County Elementary School students for the 2008-2009 school year. More details about the school uniforms are listed below 

Blandy Hills School Uniforms will consist of the following: 

Shirts colors: Burgundy, Blue, White, and Red

Pants/Shorts/Skirts/Skorts colors: Khaki, Blue, or Black

Fridays will be a free day or school spirit day. Students will be allowed to wear their normal clothes, or they can wear their Blandy shirts.

No Flip Flops allowed for the 2008-2009 year.  You will be able to find uniforms in our local Belk, JC Penny, and Wal-Mart stores. You will also be able to find the uniforms in Target and Kohl’s in Macon.  If you have any questions, just call the school office and we will be glad to help you. 

Educationally yours, 

Raymond Braziel, Principal
