FINANCIAL HARDSHIP

who cannot afford uniforms by the following procedures:
·
Any parent in need of financial assistance shall notify the
school. The need must be clearly
established with the principal or his/her designee, as the school is not
expected to incur the parental responsibility of providing school clothing for
students.

The school shall work with staff, the local school community, and
business partners to identify resources for assisting families.
·
The PTO or other school volunteers may be asked to coordinate the
effort to provide needed assistance.
DISCIPLINARY ACTION
· Prior to initiating any disciplinary action against a student not
complying with the Uniform Dress Code, a conference with the parent will be
held to solicit parental cooperation and support.
·
No students shall be considered non-compliant when they wear the
uniform of a nationally recognized youth organization such as the Boy Scouts or
Girl Scouts on a regular meeting day.
·
Without exception, violations of the Uniform Dress Code will be handled
at the discretion of and in a manner determined by individual teacher, school administration, and/or School Leadership
Team. Any appeals regarding specific
disciplinary action related to Uniform Dress code violations may be handled by
parents addressing in writing to the School Leadership Team, whose decision is
final.
