Dress Code

Students are welcome to continue to wear school uniforms; however, the uniform policy will not be enforced at Angel Oak Primary this year. Please see our PTA spirit wear store for new options and the district guidelines from the Student Code of Conduct below.

The guidelines below will be enforced to maintain a positive learning environment for students:

Students are responsible for dressing in an appropriate manner at all times while on a school campus or while involved in a school or district-sponsored event/activity. Wearing appropriate attire promotes a positive influence on the school climate.
