Dress Code

Dress Code

The design of the Babcock Schools dress code was adopted to foster an environment reflective of learning while embracing a fun atmosphere that encourages creativity and growth beyond the traditional confines of education. The expectation is that all students will be in dress code each day and purchase their uniforms from the designated vendor Signature Threads or the Athletic Department. If you have any questions about the dress code, please email office@babcockneighborhoodschool.org.
