School Uniforms
Students in all grades are required to wear their school uniform on all school days and for field trips (unless otherwise directed). Uniforms are to be worn on school picture day. School uniforms are required for special school functions and performances unless notified prior to the event. We ask that parents use good judgment on appropriate attire for activities that are non-uniform.
Students who are out of uniform will be asked to address the issue. If this is not possible, they will be sent to the Office to call home. Students who are habitually out of uniform will be disciplined under the behavior policy. Teachers and administration may issue a uniform violation to any child for uniform infractions. Following is the current uniform code and general uniform guideline.
Uniform Code
Students and parents share the responsibility for proper uniforms and grooming. Students are responsible to the school community for their appearance and cleanliness. Since the school has the duty of presenting and maintaining a serious educational environment, the following guidelines apply while students are at school (including field trip days) and at school functions. Students are to dress and groom themselves in a manner that is modest, clean and appropriate for school. Clothes must be clean and may not be torn or frayed. The style, cut, fit and fabric of all clothing and accessories must be appropriate for the school environment and must not be a distraction in or out of class.
