Big SSA Change
Great News! Overton will now allow students to wear their Overton school spirit wear (tops only) to school every day! We have previously allowed this as a special treat for Fridays, but we will now allow this every day. We feel that it is a great way for students to show their school spirit every day. A few ground rules:
|
1. It can be a T-Shirt, hoodie, fleece, or any type of top.
2. Tops only, no sweat pants. SSA pants still apply.
3. The top should have some reference to Overton High School
or our extra-curricular programs.
4. Shirts must be tucked. |
At the same time we are allowing this, we are moving to ban all hats in the building. Students have never been allowed to wear hats in the building. We are now saying that students should not be carrying them around, clipping them on belts, etc. If we see hats we will confiscate them. Students may reclaim their hat from their principal at the end of the day.
We hope and expect that our students will enjoy the freedom to wear their Overton gear and support their school on a daily basis!
Student Parking Passes
Student parking passes are being sold in the Freshman Academy Office. The cost is $5.00, and exact change is required. There will be no passes given for classes so students need to have permission before coming to the office. A student must have proof of insurance in order to get a parking pass.
