DRESS CODE: Be certain that your child is dressed in uniform daily: Red Golf Shirts with Black Pants, Skirts, or Jumpers and Black Shoes or sneakers. Hoodies and Jeans are not permitted. If your child wants to layer for the weather, sweaters should be school colors. See Nam’s Kiddie World for official Gompers wear.

ACCURATE & UPDATED INFORMATION: Parents should inform the school when there is a change in address or telephone number. The school sends important information by mail. If the school does not have a correct address, this information may not reach a student’s home. It is imperative that we have a correct phone number in case of an emergency. All students must have an emergency contact number on file in the main office.
