DRESSING FOR SUCCESS
 
  It is our belief that school performance and communication between adults and young people are enhanced by appropriate dress and grooming. Parents are strongly urged to enforce moderate hair styles and high standards of dress for their students. Parents will be serving the welfare of our students and helping us as educators by emphasizing standards of neatness, cleanliness, safety and decency in dress and grooming. Uniforms are required for all students enrolled at Ed White Middle School. The student’s uniform must fit properly, not to exceed one (1) size beyond the correct size and may not be modified in any way. This includes bagging or sagging. Parents should remove visible logos or they will be considered out of compliance. A student will not be permitted to attend class if their uniform is out of compliance with the uniform policy.
