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.
