Dear Parents and Guardians:
The top priority of the DeKalb County School District is to provide our students with the best positive learning experience in a safe environment. We work each day to encourage students to be successful at their job of learning. To this end, Stephenson Middle School is implementing a uniformed dress code in for the 2018-2019 school year.
We believe, and research supports, that uniformed dress: (1) has a positive impact on students’ learning and behavior in and around the school; (2) serves to unite students; (3) increases school pride; and, (4) eliminates class barriers that develop when some students cannot afford expensive name-brand clothing. Please visit the school’s website to clarify the acceptable student attire for the 2018-2019 school year.
Thank you in advance for your support. I look forward to collaborating with all stakeholders during the 2018-2019 school year.
Sincerely,
Dr. Rasheen Booker
