All student shirts, coats, and hats are kept in your locker. You are required to purchase your own non-slip shoes. All uniforms are expected to be clean and pressed for each meeting a washer, dryer, and iron are provided in the facility. We will provide you with clean aprons and side towels when in the kitchen. A three tiered system of enforcement is employed to proper habits; daily inspection and rubric assessment, phone call to parent or guardian, and detention.
