Dressing for Success the Falcon Way: Our Uniform Policy
It is our professional belief that school performance and communication
between adults and young people are enhanced by appropriate dress and
grooming. We are asking that parents set high standards of dress and
enforce moderate hair styles for all Walter Krueger Middle School students.
We strongly believe that parents who support this end will serve the
welfare of our students and assist the teachers of Walter Krueger Middle
School who seek to create an environment dedicated to the education and
personal development of young people.
Uniforms are required for all students enrolled at Walter Krueger Middle
School. Each student’s uniform must
•
fit properly, not to exceed one (1) size beyond the correct size;
•
not be modified in any way;
•
not allow for sagging; and
•
not have visible logos.
Students will not be allowed to attend class if their uniforms do not
comply with the school’s dress code.
