Dress Code

The purpose of our Uniform Policy is to ensure a safe and effective learning environment. Cleanliness and neatness are key elements to an effective dress code and are vital to a student's preparedness to learn. Student attire should be appropriate, decent, and non-disruptive.

The dress code will begin on the first day of school and will be enforced consistently throughout the year.

Uniform colors will be khaki pants with white, turquoise, navy blue, or gray polo shirts, or school purchased shirts (purchased in the office). A school hoodie or the A+ school hoodie are allowed. Order forms for hoodies are available in the main office. Hoodies can be worn in the classroom at the discretion of the teacher.

1. Uniform style pants (Khaki color) only. No pockets sewn on the outside of the pants. No jean or corduroy material. No cargo pockets or carpenter rings.
2. Pants must be hemmed and worn on the waist. Pants should be presentable with no holes. Leggings, tights, wind pants, sagging, and tight clingy material will NOT be allowed.
3. Shirts must be polo or oxford type shirts. No blouses allowed. Only Magnet School T-Shirts will be allowed. Undershirts must be solid white. Shirts must be tucked in.
