Uniform Code

2008-2009



We have tried to provide the consistency which creates a sense of community while being responsive to parental requests for a selection of vendors. In return, we ask that choices reflect the guidelines below and meet the purpose of providing uniformity. If choice of vendor creates confusion of image, choices will be more strictly defined in coming years.
