the school uniform upon arrival. Students also may not change out of their uniform before dismissal.
Doing so will result in a minus five (garnished wage) on their paycheck.
At all times during the school day, shirts must be tucked in with the collar completely down.
If you have any questions about the Uniform Dress Code, or if you ever need assistance with
purchasing uniforms for your student, please call the school at any time.
