Dress Code
The Pine Lake Preparatory Board of Directors has created a uniform policy for its
students. The uniform policy is designed to provide students with the safest and most
orderly learning environment possible. The Pine Lake Preparatory Board of Directors
believes that an appropriate dress code is an important asset in teaching our students
the necessity of good grooming and acceptable appearance. The uniform policy is in
effect every school day, including field trips. Advance notice will be publicized for any
events which a specific uniform or events that do not require a uniform.
