When choosing uniform items for your student, keep in mind that these guidelines are designed to keep your child safe, comfortable, and without constraint to participate in all activities including gym, recess, and outdoor learning and not a distraction to learning.
Comfortable shoes and small accessories are part of the guidelines so that students can freely play without getting hurt or constrained, and so that they are not distracted in class. Please use your best judgment.
We will expect all students to adhere to the uniform policy while at school. Students not complying with the uniform policy will be asked to call home for a change of clothes. Please call the office if you have any questions.
Note: Any ACM spirit t-shirts or House shirts can be worn with uniform pants/ shorts/ skirts on FRIDAYS.
