School #17 is a uniform school. ALL students are expected to be in uniform EVERY day. As an added bonus, students that wear their uniform every day are eligible to receive ATOMS tickets. Please help your child be eligible for this recognition.

Uniforms can usually be found at any local clothing store including Wal-Mart, Rainbow Kids, Old Navy, JC Penny, etc.

Our uniform choices are as follows:

SHIRTS anything white, baby blue or navy (dark) blue	BOTTOMS anything navy (dark) blue or khaki (tan)	COLD WEATHER a sweater (pull-over, zip up or button up) in white, baby blue or navy blue

Students who violate the student dress code shall be required to modify their appearance by covering or removing the offending item, and if necessary or practical, replacing it with an acceptable item. Any student who refuses to do so shall be subject to discipline, up to and including alternative suspension for the day. Any student who repeatedly fails to comply with the dress code shall be subject to further discipline.
