At MS 354, we believe that uniforms encourage a sense of discipline; create a sense of ambassadorship and loyalty; equalize student dress to allow students to focus on the character; alleviate the routine of choosing and preparing appropriate attire; eliminate the wearing of inappropriate attire and build a spirit of community among the students and staff.  The only exceptions to the uniform are on Pay to Get Away days, prior to which students and families will be notified. All uniforms are to be ordered and paid for at the school's main office.
