Uniform Highlights: Purpose

This school year we are highlighting different parts of The Oaks' uniform policy each week. This week we'll look at the purpose of the the school uniform. As such we'd like to encourage and remind students to wear the uniform as it is designed to be worn. Uniforms shirts should be tucked in and fully buttoned with the sleeves unrolled. Shorts and skirts should be appropriately sized for the wearer, not too fitted or too short, and waist bands should not be rolled up. 

"The purpose of the school uniform is to foster a sense of unity, to provide a consistently attractive and neat appearance for all students, to avoid peer pressure in matters of dress, and to use attire as a means of uplifting the values of truth, goodness, and beauty in our community. Parents and students are responsible for reading the uniform information, familiarizing themselves with the policy, and embracing its purpose.

The Oaks is a workplace for students as well as for teachers. Students should dress in a way to demonstrate their respect and honor for the school uniform policy."

The full purpose section is found in the opening of the Uniform Policy.
