UNIFORM CODE
The uniform policy has been developed by the administration and staff and approved by the School Board. All students in grades 1 – 8 are expected to follow the uniform code. Kindergarten students are not required to wear the school uniform.
A student who deliberately does not comply with the dress code will receive a demerit. For grades 6 – 8 an accumulation of 5 uniform demerits in one quarter will result in mandatory Saturday School attendance. A fee of $30 will be assessed to those requiring Saturday School. Continued disregard of the dress code policy could result in suspension or expulsion. Final decisions will be made by the administration.
