UNIFORMS AND DRESS GUIDELINES:
Uniforms are encouraged, but not required at Olympic View. Your support of and commitment to the uniform policy is vital to its success! We believe it sets high standards for the students by:
- reducing peer pressure
- increasing safety and security
- eliminating the wearing of inappropriate clothing items
- improving personal responsibility and accountability
- preparing for the workplace
- reinforcing positive behavior
- allowing students to focus on academic targets
Uniforms support our school spirit and a sense of esprit de corp. Our goal is to keep our focus on academic and social growth, not on the latest fashion trends. We see school uniforms as one positive and creative way to reduce discipline problems and increase school safety. Students who feel safe and secure learn basic values, the essentials of good citizenship, and are better students.
The school uniform consists of the following: solid Navy blue or Khaki pants, shorts, skirts or jumpers, and solid red, white, or navy blue shirts. If you require assistance acquiring the uniforms, please contact the office. Information is confidential.
School Spirit shirts can be worn on any day of the school week.
If you choose NOT to have your child wear a school uniform, the district dress policy must be followed. Please read it carefully, as it will be enforced:
