School Uniform and Dress Code Policy

School uniforms are a positive contributing factor to improve middle school culture, discipline, and safety. Here at KIS we have both a school uniform and a dress code policy. As parents, students, and members of the community work together, these policies become a part of a strong overall school safety program that supports the learning success of all students.

Five different options for the KIS uniform shirt are shown on a white background.
