WCES Uniform Policy

The SCCPSS and WCES Uniform Policy endorses an environment that is ordered and structured. We feel that uniformity of dress is an important part of that philosophy. All students at West Chatham Elementary will follow the Savannah Chatham County School System Uniform Policy and will wear the following uniform for the 2011-2012 school year. This uniform is not a set outfit that is purchased at one location. There are a number of stores that sell the uniform items.

An administrator or teacher has the right to determine if a student’s attire or grooming meets reasonable and appropriate guidelines. In the event a student does not come to school dressed in the school uniform and a parent is not available to bring appropriate clothing to the school, the school will loan students a uniform for the school day, if necessary. WCES has established a Uniform Closet located where students will be able to change into appropriate attire, if needed. Students will return these uniform items to the closet at the end of the school day. The staff at WCES maintains the cleanliness and upkeep of these uniforms. Please note, in accordance with the SCCPSS district Student Code of Conduct, multiple infractions of the school Uniform Policy may result in disciplinary consequences.

The Uniform Closet program appreciates and accepts the donation of uniforms from families and friends of WCES!
