Uniform Policy

2010-2011

Dear Parents and Guardians:

We hope you are having a great summer.  As you all should have read in our enrollment packet, our uniform policy for 2010-2012 has changed.  We are blessed to use the services of a local Christian business, myLord Clothing Company, to purchase our uniforms.  It is very important that you review the following information because there are several time sensitive actions that must be taken on your part!! 

ALERT – TIME SENSITIVE INFORMATION!!

·         Uniform tops with the logos can only be purchased through the school. 

·         The opportunity to purchase uniform tops only occur at certain times throughout the year.  The first deadline is Friday, July 23, 2010.  The next opportunity will occur sometime in October. 

·         I must receive your sizes and additional uniform orders by July 23 in order for you to have uniforms by the start of school.  The forms were originally included with your enrollment packet and due back by July 8.  Please email me at cdixon@parksideca.org or fill out the uniform order form below if you desire to purchase additional items.

Purpose of Uniforms:

The purpose of the School Uniform Policy is to encourage our students to improve and expand academic excellence, to experience a greater sense of school identity and belonging, to encourage an improvement in student behavior, to reduce school clothing costs, to encourage a high level of program participation and to provide additional opportunities for increased school safety. 

Uniform Guidelines:
