Uniform Policy

Proper grooming and attire reflects positively on the individual student and the school as a whole.  Students are expected to meet a common standard of dress so that they may focus on learning and not be distracted by current fashion trends.  When students come to school in uniform, it should be of the proper size, clean, pressed and in good repair. 

All clothing items must be from Flynn & O’Hara.
