DRESS CODE: RIVER HALL  IS A UNIFORM SCHOOL

 

Students at River Hall Elementary are to abide by the school’s dress code policy. The

personal appearance of the student is the primary responsibility of the parent/guardian. When

students are dressed appropriately for school, they realize it is time to work and learn. It is the

intent of the dress code to provide our students with a feeling of school pride.
