School Uniform Dress
Code
Facts for Parents about School Uniforms
Beginning in August 2011, all
Christina School District (CSD) middle schools and
four elementary schools will be participating in the
school uniform program. The
schools participating for the 2011-2012 school year
include Bancroft, Elbert-Palmer, Pulaski, and
Stubbs
Elementary Schools and Bayard, Gauger-Cobbs,
Kirk
and Shue-Medill 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. Please note: We will
provide sensory-friendly options for our students.
