Dress Codes

As the first teachers of your children, kindly guide and check them as they dress for school each day. All students begin wearing uniforms on the first day of school.

Students in grades Pre-Kindergarten through 8th wear a neat, attractive uniform that not only manifests the equality of all students but also enhances the learning environment. Uniforms must be worn properly. Unusual weather conditions may necessitate a change in the uniform schedule. The principal will announce such exceptions.

All students (excluding pre-kindergarten) are in dress uniform 3-4 days a week and physical education uniform 1-2 day a week. If a student reports to school out of uniform, he/she must bring a written note from his/her parent or guardian for a reason. Demerits may be issued for inappropriate dress/uniform infractions.


All uniform items must be purchased from Risse Brothers at 9700 Martin Luther King Jr. Highway, Suite B in Lanham, MD or online at http://www.rissebrothers.com. Our school code is SJ1517.


Also available is a free uniform exchange available to all families. Uniform items may be donated to the exchange, and is encouraged by all families who are unable to pass down items to younger children.
