School Uniform

The uniform policy of FPDS encourages an atmosphere of learning and eliminates competition in dress. For our uniform policy to work well, we need cooperation from both students and parents. Please be assured that the administration desires a harmonious relationship with our school community and does not want to spend unnecessary time addressing the uniform guidelines. Your help in this matter will be greatly appreciated.

Teachers will monitor student dress each day and will issue warning slips to any student violating the dress code. The administrative team will randomly inspect student dress and issue dress code violations as needed. If your child receives a dress code violation notice please help him/her correct the violation and sign and return the violation slip to school the next day. Please note that in some cases, a student may be asked to call his or her parents to bring different clothing to correct a violation. Students who do not take care of dress code violations involving hair within a 7 day period will be sent home until hair is cut to meet school requirements. Students who are repeat offenders of the dress code policy may face detention or suspension. The administrative team reserves the right to initiate revisions to the dress code as needed during the school year. Parents and students will be notified of any revisions that are made.

We use Parker Uniform Company for our uniform provider. You can visit the store on Airport Road in Flowood or order online.

On some occasions, the Crusader Club will offer FPDS apparel that the administration has approved to be worn to school as part of the uniform. Those items will be “marketed” as official dress code wear. (Please note that not all Crusader Club apparel is approved for the daily dress code. Be sure to check signs and notes about the specific item you purchase to see if it has been approved for the dress code.)

Uniforms and shoes should be in good condition (not ripped, faded, ragged, or with holes) and should be appropriately fitted to each child.

Be sure to label all jackets and clothes with your child’s name.

Lost uniform pieces are placed in the “lost and found” bin in the gym.
