In an attempt to accommodate our students and assist our families prior to going shopping for the new school year, while maintaining adequate and appropriate uniformity, the following Dress Code applies for the entire school year.

The school’s dress code is designed to facilitate an environment where the school pursues its purpose of providing students an education based on academic excellence while ensuring safety, limiting distractions, and keeping the focus on learning. The cooperation of the student and the parent is necessary in maintaining the standards of the school’s dress code and dress code violations may result in appropriate disciplinary action. Coming to school each day with clothing in compliance with the dress code is a responsibility of both the student and the parent.  The following information is intended to clarify the School Advisory Council

approved FMS Dress Code and should be used as a guide.  The complete Dress Code is posted online at https://www.leonschools.net/fairview
