UNIFORM CODE FOR K-5

 

Uniform regulations apply to all students in grades K-5, and are to be adhered to until the last day of school. Any exceptions; i.e. “Uniform Holidays,” will be announced in advance. Preschool students are not required to wear uniforms. A child not having proper attire must have a written excuse from the parents.  Points will be deducted in the conduct grade.

 

This dress code is quite clear and needs to be monitored by the parents. If a child continues to be improperly attired after being warned one time, the student will be sent to the office and receive silent lunch and silent recess. A letter will be sent to the parents informing them of this infraction.
