I wanted to inform everyone on the first day participation rate for student uniforms at West Side Elementary and MSGA. West Side had 93.37% participation. Of the 6.63% that did not wear uniforms today, 25.8% were new to West Side and were uninformed about the policy.

MSGA had 92.22% participation. Only 3 parents have requested opt out forms at MSGA. The teachers and staff are thrilled with this rate of participation.

It’s great to see so many parents and students participate in something that will lead to a new “dress for success” attitude in learning.

Welcome back to school everyone!

Participation rate is now (3rd day) at 96% for both schools with no more opt out requests.

As long as uniforms are part of a comprehensive policy they stand a much better chance of succeeding. I think we have that at Westside and I hope the plan evolves well into the middle school where uniforms are desperately needed.

I’ve heard from many parents who support uniforms at the middle school.
