Our Dress  Code Policy :

is intended to help our school promote a more effective learning environment. As stated in clause A-655 of the Chancellor's Regulations, the use of a uniform dress code helps to foster school unity and pride. In addition, it eliminates label competition; simplifies dressing, and minimizes costs to parents. Wearing a uniform teaches children appropriate dress and decorum in school and in their future "work"places/careers. Additionally, wearing a uniform helps to improve student conduct and discipline. When your parents and you applied for admission to The Mott Hall School, you were
made aware of our Uniform Dress Code Policy. It is imperative, therefore, that you
adhere to the dress policy. The Mott Hall School is committed to creating an atmosphere focused on academic
achievement and personal development. To this end, the school subscribes to a strict
