Uniform Dress Code
A clean and neat appearance enhances a child’s dignity and promotes appropriate behavior. Uniforms allow for a student to focus upon academics rather than dress because it helps to eliminate competition for expensive and trendy clothing. It is also helpful to parents as it is cost-effective and often eliminates early morning arguments regarding apparel as the
child prepares for school.
Parents are encouraged to call the School Office if a particular item of clothing is in question.
Order forms for various uniform companies can be acquired at the school office.
