Standardized Dress Code Policy for Perry Middle School - Order Spirit Wear Here

The purpose of the School Dress Code Policy is to provide opportunities for increased school safety, to encourage our students to experience a greater sense of school identity and belonging, to encourage improvement in student behavior, and expand academic excellence while promoting positive school wide image. 

Students who violate the DeWitt Perry Middle School dress code and require frequent and ongoing corrections from the administrative team will be deemed insubordinate. Consequences for insubordination will be considered serious. Administrative time is very valuable and is best spent working with staff on outstanding curriculum and instructional delivery rather than regularly  students about dress code issues.

This information has been provided to assist parents in shopping for school clothes that meet the DeWitt Perry Middle School student standardized dress policy as approved by Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD. The building administrative team--specifically the principal--will have the final authority as to compliance with dress policy.

The color chart on this page accurately represents the approved uniform colors.
