    PROCEDURES FOR NON-COMPLIANCE

      We believe these guidelines for appropriate student dress are reasonable and fair.  We feel that our families, without any undue financial or emotional burden or distress, can meet these guidelines.  Your voluntary monitoring of your child’s clothing is greatly appreciated.  In the event that your child is not in compliance with the guidelines, we may assist them by arranging some modifications:

    • Students with inappropriate writing on their clothes may be asked to wear them inside-out.

    • Students with sagging clothing may be provided a belt substitution.

    • Students with improper footwear may not be allowed to participate in some activities.

    • Students with improper shorts will be provided with an appropriate cover-up to wear for the rest of the day.

    • Other modifications and assistance may be given as well.

      

    Uniontown Family Resources is available to our students that may need assistance or guidance in acquiring the appropriate materials for school.
