In accordance with the Federal mandate to maintain a safe and orderly learning environment, Casa Blanca Community School establishes the following dress code policies and procedures.  Students are expected to dress in proper uniform attire on a daily basis.   It is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to ensure compliance with the dress code.  All students must be in uniform from the first day of school until the last day of school; including summer school.  Unless notice is sent home in advance, there will be no exceptions.   Parents, please be sure to provide your child with an adequate wardrobe to assure that he/she will have available a clean uniform each day of the week.  It is not the responsibility of the school to provide the student with a uniform at any time.  Not having laundered clothes is definitely not an emergency, unless there is an unusual circumstance.
We will be strictly enforcing the policy this year.  Students without uniforms will be brought into compliance by being allowed to call a parent/guardian to bring a uniform.  During the waiting period for Educational Assistance Program (EAP) funds, students may wear solid color tee shirts without logos, and pants, shorts, or skorts (no denim).  Please contact the Principal if you are waiting for these funds and your child will not be in uniform.

The following is the Dress Code guideline.  Please read and follow the policy when purchasing clothing.
