A student’s appearance and good grooming leads to personal self-respect and effective academic performance. All students will wear the school uniform beginning on the opening day of school.
Students are expected to come to school each day in a state of cleanliness. If at any time an exception to dress code is necessary, the parent must notify the school in writing. Failing to do so will result in an infraction being issued.
