Wildwood Elementary School

Mandatory Uniform Dress Code

With a mandatory dress code in place, our goal is to:

•  Increase self-respect as well as respect for others. Improve school spirit and school unity

•  Eliminate “label competition.” Greater attention to “who” they are instead of “what they wear.”

•  “To put learning first” and contribute to high standards of dress, conduct, and achievement.

•  Increase educational benefits for students by lowering absenteeism, tardiness, and reducing office referrals for behavior and reducing suspensions.

When buying uniforms please keep in mind that not all clothing sold in the uniform department of stores is in line with Wildwood's uniform policy.
