6th & 8th Grade: You've earned it! This Friday is Casual Friday for you.

7th Grade: Not so fast! Since you're heading out on your field trip, you MUST be in full dress code. You'll be representing HTLA out in the community, so let's look the part!
⚠️ No exceptions — for anyone!

We will not be having Casual Friday this week. This decision wasn't easy, but it's necessary. Over the past couple of weeks, we've seen behaviors that don't reflect our GRAPE values, trash left on campus, food thrown in common areas, and unkind treatment of classmates. While this week has shown improvement (thank you to students who picked up trash!), we still have work to do.
The good news? This is temporary and completely in your control. When we show that we can take care of our school and each other, Casual Friday will return.
Please be in full dress code on Friday to avoid detention.
I believe in every one of you. Let's show what HTLA is truly made of together.

Unfortunately, we will not be having Casual Friday on January 16th, 2026.
We've had trash left on campus during lunch and nutrition, food thrown in our common areas. Let's show what HTLA is truly made of. I believe in every one of you, and I know we can do better, together.
