UNIFORMS
Students are expected to be neatly dressed in school uniforms unless express permission is given for free dress. Uniforms should always be neat, clean, and fit properly.
If you are uncertain about any aspect of the dress code, please check with the school before you make a decision about purchases or haircuts. A student may have to be on home study until his/her haircut or uniform meets school requirements.
Issues relating to dress or appearance of a student that are not specifically mentioned in this handbook and are inconsistent with the school’s regulations may be deemed unacceptable at the discretion of the staff or administration.
Parents and students are expected to cooperate with the uniform code. If there is a disagreement about acceptable appearance at school, the Principal will make the final decision.
If a student comes to school out of uniform, or if the uniform is deemed inappropriate, the office may supply a “loaner” uniform for the child to change in to.
