We believe school uniforms create a sense of school pride and community, while helping to build students’ personal skills around professionalism and presentation. Students should be in full uniform on the first day of school.
You can expect to receive additional details on how and where to purchase uniforms, as well as information about Student and Family Orientation.
While school uniforms are a part of the Mastery model, uniforms should never be a barrier to school attendance. If you are having a financial hardship that impacts your ability to secure school uniforms, please contact your school to discuss opportunities for uniform assistance.
Thank you for a wonderful school year. Have a restful summer, and we look forward to welcoming your children back in August.
