Girls in Yoga Shorts Virginia

All students in grades K-8 are required to wear uniforms. Uniform guidelines for the 2016-2017 school year are also found in the Parent-Student K-8 Handbook. The Physical Education uniform must be purchased through the school and is available from Mrs. Houtz. The cost of the physical education uniform will be charged to your FACTS Tuition Agreement. The dress code provides a standard for our students, which fosters an environment conducive to learning and respectful behavior. Final decisions regarding the school uniform rest with the principal/administration.
