This dress code/uniform policy has been established to help create a positive school climate.  Students are to abide by this policy in an effort to emphasize standards of neatness in grooming, uniformity in our school’s image, and pride in our school.  Parents are requested to cooperate and enforce the school uniform policy.  To be fair to all students, the staff will enforce this policy.

All students are expected to be in full uniform each day with the exception of scheduled non-uniform days.
