Uniforms

Research indicates that there is a distinct relationship between students’ attire and their classroom behavior, attitude, and achievement. Uniforms are worn at Woodfield Academy to create an atmosphere conducive to learning. Students are expected to show pride in their appearance by wearing clean uniforms and wearing them appropriately. The faculty and staff reserve the right to make final judgment of the appropriateness of any item worn to school.
