Villa de Paz Elementary School Uniform Dress Policy  
The staff, School Effectiveness Team (SET) and parents of Villa de Paz Elementary School believe that the way students dress for school affects their learning climate. Students who come dressed appropriately for learning are less distracted and maybe better prepared to learn. Therefore, Villa de Paz Elementary School parents and staff have implemented a mandatory uniform dress code policy.

THE VILLA DE PAZ ELEMENTARY SCHOOL UNIFORM DRESS CODE IS IN ADDITION TO THE PENDERGAST ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DISTRICT DRESS CODE POLICY AS FOUND IN THE PARENT-STUDENT HANDBOOK.

The Uniform Dress Code* is described below:
