The complete uniform policy
, including guidelines for appearance, are in the School Handbook. Use the link below.

During the next year Ascension
School will consider changing the Kindergarten uniform - eliminating the plaid jumper for girls and boys’
uniform shirts and pants. 
Since Kindergarten children are often
at play on the floor, a “gym style” uniform may be preferred.  School staff and interested parents will consider
this recommendation
before a final decision is made.
