Our uniform dress policy is designed to support the standards of our school, fostering respect for self, respect towards others, and respect for the teaching-learning process.

In order to accommodate a variety of clothing budgets, you may purchase your child’s uniform clothing from any vendor, provided that the clothing conforms to the policy. Suggestions of clothing stores to shop and compare include: J.C. Penny, Old Navy, Aeropostale, Target, Walmart, Lands End, Meijer and Kohl’s. Please shop for dress code articles of clothing that have no label or logo that is visible.
