The district has begun the process of surveying stakeholder groups at each of the schools that require a uniform code of dress about the continuation of uniform dress requirements. For the 2021-2022 school year, the district has extended the waiver on school uniform requirements at the uniform dress code schools. This will provide sufficient time for the district to hear from each stakeholder group and determine the appropriate path forward at each school. Families will still have the option to allow students to wear uniforms when they return to school in the fall. There will be no consequences imposed upon a student for a uniform violation during the 2021-2022 school year; however, general student dress code requirements will remain in place.

Summer is almost here and we want to make sure we keep our children healthy while school is out.
