[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I do not want to identify myself or my child by sharing school or district.  It is in the DMV, further out in NoVA.

Small catholic to midsize middle (~600 kids)[/quote]

My guess is LCPS, our district. Mostly great schools, depending on location. Stay away from Leesburg and Sterling, those are the worst ones. Western Loudoun and the Ashburn area have the best schools.

Teach her how to use the Schoology calendar, and keep up with her grades via ParentVue. Make sure she's in honors classes and Foundations for math. If really smart get her tested for Spectrum, has been a blessing to my DD.

LCPS retake policy is only for major summatives (big tests and projects), only if you get below an 80%, and can only be retaken up to an 80%. Very useful knowledge. Minor summatives (small quizzes and some assignments) cannot be retaken. Formatives (classwork and most homework) don't affect her grade, but they still show up in ParentVue.

Get her involved: my DD's school has many clubs, rec league sports teams, and the musical. This helps her find a group.

From watching DD, her friends, and the general population here would be my fashion essentials list:
Tops:
- Various cropped ribbed tank tops and shirts in solid colors
- A few hoodies and zipped jackets
- Quarter zips
- Graphic tees
- Athletic wear
- Music artist merch

Bottoms:
- Jean shorts
- Athletic skorts and shorts
- Black athletic leggings
- Black Flare pants
- Light gray joggers
- Pajama pants

Shoes:
- Air Forces
- Jordans
- Blazers
- Converse (especially platforms)
- Ugg Tamzin or similar

Accessories:
- Gold hoop earrings
- Kendra Scott necklaces
- Heshi bead or beach style bracelets
- Nike socks
- Stanley cups

Brands:
- Nike
- Hollister
- American Eagle
- Lululemon
- Aerie
- Brandy Melville
- Forever 21
- H&M
- Aeropostale
- Abercrombie

Hope this helps![/quote]

This is great!! Although I do not think I am going to buy crop tops, if I can avoid it. [/quote]

PP has done a very nice job with what kids wear, generally speaking. Specifics might be slightly different between schools. As for crop tops, they don’t have to be as short as a sports bra. There are plenty that are barely cropped. [/quote]

Good to know. Thanks!![/quote]
