Spirit Wear Friday & 50 Cent Friday Bottom Buy-Out:

On Fridays, Charter Oak Spirit Wear shirts may be worn with standard uniform bottoms. Spirit Wear shirts must be worn appropriately (no tying/knotting, no cutting or modifying in any way). All other uniform policy guidelines apply. We are instituting a 50 Cent Friday Bottom Buy Out this year.  This is a weekly, on-going PTC fundraiser that gives students an opportunity to wear n0n-uniform bottoms (jeans, skirts, basketball shorts, jogging pants, etc.) with their uniform shirt, or spirit wear shirt, for 50 cents each Friday.  This is subject to its success.
