Forest Park Middle School Uniform Dress Policy
Uniform dress creates a climate with a greater sense of school identity and belonging, expands academic excellence, and improves student behavior and safety. We believe that the principles of modesty, professionalism, and good taste are core values represented in the CCPS Uniform Dress Code.
