Dress CodeStudents are to be in complete uniform at all times unless otherwise specified by the Principal.The purpose of the dress code policy is to foster an atmosphere of learning and academic achievement. Specifically, dress code requirements are intended to:
- Allow students to focus on academics rather than on dress
- Alleviate competition among students for expensive and/or fad clothing
- Create a positive image of the school in the community
Numerous studies have shown that school uniforms reduce conflict among students while improving classroom behavior and attendance rates. For our dress code policy to be successful, the support of every parent is essential. Parents can assist by making certain that students are dressed properly before leaving for school each morning. If your child is out of uniform, conduct grades can be affected (grades 4-8) or recess privileges restricted (grades K-3) and parents may be called and asked to bring the proper uniform items to school.If a student comes in inappropriate dress, a phone call home will be made to bring in appropriate attire that fits with the dress code. This will be true on uniform days, spirit days, and out of uniform days.Girl’s Uniform-- Plaid jumper, Grades K – 4; Plaid skirt, Grades 3 - 8
