Uniform Guidelines

Dress code: Please ensure that your child’s uniform meets all the requirements of the school dress code. Please note our school’s hair and make-up/jewelry policies which are listed below. Ladies need to pay particular attention to our skirt and sock length requirements; gentlemen need to ensure they are following the hair and shaving policies as we begin school, as well as throughout the school year.

Each class period during the school year begins with a uniform check, and any student in violation of the dress code policies will be required to make the necessary adjustments.
