Student Dress Code

The dress code offers many options such as different colors and styles of shirts, blouses etc. Recognizing that students come from a wide range of economic backgrounds, when all the students dress similarly, a child will not be singled out if his/her clothing is not the “latest fashion trend.” All children should be well groomed and are expected to wear neat, clean clothing free from holes at all times.
