Important: A letter will be sent home the 1st time a student comes to school out of uniform. The second time, parents will be contacted to bring required clothing to school before the student is admitted to class, if a parent cannot be contacted, or is unable to bring a change of clothes, the student will be given loaners for the day if available. The third incident will result in a consequence and a parent conference with the principal. Please support our school uniform policy in Compliance with Education Code 35183 and 35294.1.
