School Uniforms

Uniforms

Wearing a school uniform is part of the discipline and structure of our school.  It also fosters a sense of pride in our school and strengthens our community as our children learn to observe the uniform guidelines. 

All students must be in uniform every day. If there is a time when the prescribed uniform cannot for some legitimate reason be worn, a note from the parent/guardian must be written to the teachers. Students who are out of uniform without an excuse are sent to the office and will face consequences as indicated below. The administration reserves the right to judge the appropriateness of the student’s appearance. 

Our uniform vendor is Risse Brothers Uniforms
