Uniform & Dress Code
Please make sure that your child’s jackets, sweatshirts, sweaters, booksacks, and lunch kits are labeled with their name. Many of these items are identical and it is difficult to find the REAL owner.

Also, approved school organizations will be allowed to wear school approved non-uniform
shirts on special occasions. (These occasions will be approved by the Principal or his

worn even though the shirt would be non-uniform.
