Therefore, Elmore has implemented a “Standard Code of Dress” for the 2007-2008 school year.

The selections for Elmore’s standard code of dress are as follows:

Bottoms – Khaki (No denim or stripes)

The Standardized Code of Dress must be adhered to each day (Monday through Friday). It is suggested that parents buy at least three sets (3 tops and 3 bottoms) of clothing to accommodate a week’s attire. If student is out of Dress Code they will be sent to SAC.

With your support, I am sure that our standard code of dress will enhance the learning environment of all of our students. Please call us @ (713) 672-7466 if you have any questions.
