Uniform Policy
Student Dress Code 2023-2024
Dress and Grooming Guidelines
In an effort to maintain an atmosphere that is most conducive to learning, scholar attire is expected to be appropriate for school. The purpose of the dress code is to assure that our scholar population will dress in a way that is supportive of, and not disruptive to, the educational process. Clothing is to be worn appropriately and in the manner for which it was designed.
Scholars are responsible for dressing appropriately at all times while at Wagner Middle School or while involved in a school or district sponsored event/activity.
