Woodworth-Monroe TK-8 Uniforms

School Uniforms are important for several reasons. First, and foremost the help us with student safety. It’s easier to recognize that a child belongs on our campus if they are in uniform. Secondly, our uniforms promote school pride. And finally, uniforms help to keep our students focused on things other than what they are wearing. Please see attached for more information.
