EXCEPTIONS OR SUBSTITUTIONS TO THE SCHOOL DRESS CODE MUST BE APPROVED, IN ADVANCE, BY THE PRINCIPAL. The very purpose of our school enforcing a uniform policy is to achieve quality and consistency among our students in their style of dress. If these uniform regulations are to succeed, it will take the combined effort of students, PARENTS and school personnel to see to it that every child comes to school in the proper uniform. If, for any reason, a child must be out of uniform, a note of explanation, signed and dated by the parent, must accompany the student and be given to the homeroom teacher. Please print your child’s name on all articles of clothing worn to school and regularly check the lost and found box located in the cafeteria for missing articles. Articles not claimed are periodically given to the poor. For Dress Code violations, the child's parents will be called in order to bring the item necessary to complete the uniform. The child will wait in the office until the parent arrives with the necessary item. After three documented incidences, the child will be ineligible for out-of uniform passes for the remainder of the year. It is the hope of the uniform committee that we begin the school year as "tight" as possible. It is the responsibility of all parents to ensure their child is dressed according to policy, or be inconvenienced when they are not.
