UNIFORM POLICY 

Students are best prepared for school when they are properly dressed and groomed. They are expected to follow standards of cleanliness, neatness and modesty in everything they wear. Students wear a uniform in order to promote a feeling of equality for all children while discouraging competition in dress. We take pride in our school and the uniform provides a means of identity for the students with our school. In all fairness to other students and their families who honor the policy with the designated uniform, we sincerely hope that you respect the uniform policy, which will be strictly enforced. 

Parents and students both share in the responsibility for seeing that the uniform policy is appropriately observed and maintained.
