Dress Code

The Uniform Shop
Is now available at both campuses! The Getz Road Campus has their shop set up across from Mrs. Latin’s office. The Union Street Campus shop is located at the back of the stage. Each item costs only $1.00. Payment can be made in either school office. You are welcome to shop anytime the school offices are open. In order to keep these areas “clutter free” we will only be accepting donations at certain times throughout the year. Shop often to save money and have school clothes on hand for the change of seasons or growing children.
