Policy Change:
Please note the following changes we have made to the Student Dress Code/Uniform Guidelines and Student Handbook.
Shoes - Closed toed shoes must be worn at all times. Sandals are not allowed. Both shoes must be the same, part of a pair. Both shoelaces must be matching, part of a pair.
Shirts with Plaid attire– Previously, girls were only allowed to wear white shirts with Plaid skirts, skorts, or jumpers. We have now revised this guideline and the girls may wear any color uniform shirt with the plaid clothing.
