GENERAL POLICY
The Uniform Policy is rooted in a desire to create and promote a learning environment where attire is not a distraction to the educational process. Therefore, students are required to adhere to this policy while participating as a student This policy is based on the following principles:
Clothing historically calls attention to the role someone has in society (e.g., law enforcement, medical professionals, clergy, athletes, military). School uniforms are a visual reminder of the purpose of students, which is to learn
Clothing choices are not neutral and have often been used as a way of distinguishing people (e.g., socio-economics, name brands, preferences).
Uniforms remove the distraction
While clothing is often associated as a means of personal expression, uniforms remind students that their primary expression comes from character choices rather than clothing choices.
Uniforms engender a sense of common identity and goals, signifying that students are part of a community that strives together
Other benefits of uniforms:
Uniforms can save time by limiting morning choices for kids. Uniforms should save families money by de-emphasizing the social impact of clothing
Uniforms provide a safe environment by allowing staff to identify nonstudents easily and quickly.
