Uniform Policies
The Berkley Charter School uniform is worn as a symbol of school pride. Research has shown that uniforms make students feel self-confident and reduce distractions, promoting an academic atmosphere, as well as a professional appearance.
Administration
reserves the right to request a change of clothing for inappropriate dress or to
recommend changes on anything deemed distracting to the learning process.
All Berkley
T-Shirts are on sale in the main office daily.
The uniform policy has been set up by the uniform committee. This committee is made up of parents, teachers, and administration.
