All Mansfeld students are expected to wear the official Mansfeld uniform. The uniform was approved and adopted by the TUSD Governing Board in March of 1996. The uniform policy was reviewed and modified in 2010 by the Mansfeld Site Council. The Mansfeld Uniform is to be worn at all times when the student is at school. This includes field trips, sports events, and evening events. Parents and guardians are responsible for making sure their student arrives at school in the proper uniform. The school's uniform policy will be strictly enforced by all staff members.
