Research supports that the wearing of school uniforms:

• Provide a sense of pride and self-esteem, and allows students to focus on the learning process
  
  
• Saves time and money
  
  
• Creates greater school recognition and helps maintain a safe and secure environment
  
  
• Students in uniform are easily identified by school staff at school and at school related activities
  
  
• Uniforms allow staff to easily recognize visitors on campus

Please call Ms. Taylor or Ms. Richmond at (813) 872-5325 with any questions about this policy.
