Uniform Policy

Students are to wear school uniforms on Monday through Thursday.
On Fridays students have “Free Choice” of what to wear to school in accordance with the General Dress Code below.
On field trips, the dark green uniform top and khaki uniform bottoms are required.
Teacher discretion may be used to either require that uniforms be worn for special functions or field trips scheduled on a Friday, or request clothing other than uniforms be worn on a field trip depending on the nature of the trip.
The General Dress Code applies for all school-related functions both on and off campus.
Clothing choices overall should reflect good taste, be in good repair and foster a neat overall appearance.
