Dress Code Policy

  • In accordance with School Board Policy 5.182 at Acreage Pines Elementary, it is our goal that all students comply with our school uniform dress code. We work each day to encourage students to be successful at their job of learning; we ask that you do the same by supporting our school dress code (school uniform). Research has shown that school uniforms have a positive impact on students' learning and behavior in and around the school. Our school dress code serves to unite students, increases school pride, and eliminates class barriers. We will provide uniforms for those in need when we are made aware of these situations.  Please read the dress code to ensure that your child is in compliance.
