UNIFORM POLICY

Nasha Shkola requires uniforms for every day and formal occasions.

SCHOOL UNIFORM POLICY

I. PURPOSE

The purpose of this policy is to provide additional opportunity for increased school safety, to encourage our students to experience a greater sense of school identity and belonging, to encourage an improvement in student behavior, to reduce school clothing costs, and to strengthen the overall image of Nasha Shkola Charter School. Wearing a standard uniform also helps to create a neat and consistent appearance for students and remind them that they are a part of and reflection of NS community.

II. REQUIREMENTS

Nasha Shkola partners with Donald’s Uniform Store, the sole uniform provider for NS uniforms. Please purchase uniform supplies at this vendor. Uniforms purchased through these stores are made with fair trade/labor practices and have been designed to hold up for heavy wash and wear.
