UNIFORM POLICY
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 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 everyday:
- Promotes a more effective learning environment
- Fosters school unity and pride
- Improves student performance
- Fosters self-esteem
- Eliminates label competition
- Simplifies the dressing process in the morning
- Teaches students appropriate dress and decorum in their “work” place
- Help to improve student conduct and discipline
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.
