Uniform Policies
DRESS:
Modesty and age appropriate dress is a requirement at all school related events. This includes “Out of Uniform” days as well as sporting activities, May Crowning, Graduation, Student Council dances and the Father-Daughter dance.
Uniform Regulations-2008-2009
There is a definite relationship between dress and attitude. Students who take pride in their appearance take pride in their behavior. A good attitude and behavior are prerequisites for successful learning.
It is the responsibility of the parent to see that their child is in uniform. The uniform is to be just as the word states…uniform. If there is a question regarding proper uniform, the decision rests with the school. Students who look different will be requested to adjust their appearance. The purpose is to emphasize individuality in character and academics and to promote the qualities of neatness and cleanliness in our learning environment.
