Uniform Policy

Uniform Policy
In order to improve the school’s educational environment, promote a more effective climate for learning, foster school unity and pride, and allow scholars to focus solely on learning and not on attire, the school has a dress policy for scholars that applies to school days and school-sponsored events. Cesar Chavez PCS believes that a person’s dress communicates attitudes and values. Every
profession or workplace sets particular expectations for appropriate dress. Attending school and being an active learner is the scholar’s profession. For this reason, the school will be implementing consistent and strict dress expectations.

All Cesar Chavez PCS (Cesar Chavez PCS) scholars must be in the Cesar Chavez PCS uniform during all school hours unless stated by Cesar Chavez PCS. The Cesar Chavez PCS uniform must be displayed neatly, fitted, cleanly, proudly and without exception at all times throughout the academic year, with the exception of dress down days (which require a pass). All uniform shirts and sweaters may be purchased by Risse Brothers. Please visit their website,https://www.rissebrothers.com/ to order your scholar’s uniform. This policy will be strictly enforced. If you foresee an issue, please notify the school immediately
.
