Dear Parents, 

      The Board of Education of Prince George's County requires that students attending this school adhere to the mandatory school uniform policy.  The Board of Education adopted System-wide school uniform policy, which set fort particular standards.  As a result of this action, all students are expected to comply with this School Uniform Procedure # 0600.  In an effort to be certain that all students and parents are aware of this School Uniform policy, our school wants to share it with you.  Please review the following adopted school uniform carefully with your child/children to assure that they, too, are aware of its contents: 

 Opt-Out in a Mandatory Uniform School: 

1. Parent(s) or guardian(s) who disagree with the adopted mandatory school uniform program may opt-out of participation in this new requirement for the duration of this program at that school. 
2. Parent(s) or guardian(s) shall complete APPLICATION FOR EXEMPTION FROM MANDATORY SCHOOL UNIFORM PROGRAM FORM (PGIN 7540-3500) within forty-five (45) days after their child has been assigned to the school after the school year has commenced. 
3.  A student, whose parents have exercised their right to opt-out of the mandatory school uniform program at the school, will be reassigned through established procedures to another school. Transportation will not be provided. 

Penalty for Consistent Violations
