School Uniform – polo shirt (navy blue or grey), khaki/navy blue/black pants or skirt
**Please note – Teachers may require additional supplies as the year progresses.
Here at Middle School 217Q we have a student dress code policy. The dress code consists of a collared polo shirt (navy blue or grey) with our school logo, and either Navy Blue, Black or Khaki pants.
Girls may choose to wear a navy blue or khaki skirt/skort.
There are many benefits in having our students wear a uniform to school every day:
Understanding all the benefits wearing a school uniform lends to our school environment any student who is out of uniform will receive a phone call home to inform the parent and may be subjected to stay for detention.
Thank you
Will be held during lunch periods
