School Uniform Dress
Code
Facts for Parents about School Uniforms
Two Christina School District
middle schools and four elementary schools will
continue to participate in a school uniform pilot
program for the 2009-2010 school year. The
schools include Bancroft,
Elbert-Palmer, Pulaski and Stubbs Elementary Schools
and Bayard and Kirk Middle
Schools.
In many public school
districts where uniform dress codes have been
established, school officials have found that school uniforms:
- enhance school safety
- improve the learning environment
- bridged socioeconomic differences between
children
- promoted good behavior
- improved children's self-respect and
self-esteem
- produced cost savings for participating
families
The decision to implement a uniform code is about
equity and high standards of achievement. In
order for our students to reach the high standards
we have set for them, we must create environments
where they receive challenging instruction, and are
held accountable for their dress, behavior, and
personal success.
