Q: What are the reasons behind the uniform policy?

Our simple uniforms are beneficial because they ... Promote cohesiveness in the student body. Schools nationwide are welcoming diversity into their student body, with a wide range of backgrounds and different economic status. At Highcroft, we strive to create an environment where all children feel welcome and safe. Provide an appropriate standard of dress. Uniforms offer an added layer of protection for the children and staff by ensuring all clothing is appropriate for school. Reduce the cost of "school clothes." Families may purchase uniforms from the store of their choosing. Affordable options include: School uniform sales, Target, Old Navy, Children's Place, used clothing stores, and many other retail options. Allow younger children the opportunity for independence by dressing themselves. Children often find it is easier to have only a few options to select from that are school appropriate, as some children get overwhelmed by having to choose from a large selection. Help eliminate distractions. Wearing a uniform helps to eliminate distractions caused by current fashion trends.
