Monitoring Uniforms
All teachers will conduct a uniform check before the instructional day begins. Any student not wearing appropriate clothing (belts included) will be asked to visit the FRC to receive the necessary clothing. A parent will be notified when this happens. We ask that parents be responsible for seeing that their children are appropriately dressed before they leave home.
