School Uniforms

The SMR dress code provides a standard for our students conducive to learning and respectful behavior. The SMR dress code balances the need for self-expression and promotes a positive attitude. The school uniform is a point of pride and must always be worn appropriately. In addition, students are required to follow the appropriate grooming guidelines and tag day guidelines or the student will receive appropriate disciplinary action. SMR Lanyard or Badge Clip with SMR ID must be on your person from the waist up and visible at ALL times during the school day.
