Dress Code

Standardized Dress for Perry Middle School

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

Students who violate the DeWitt Perry Middle School dress code and require frequent and ongoing correction from the administration 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 the Carrollton-Farmers Branch ISD Superintendent, Dr. John E. Chapman III. The building administrative team will have the final authority as to compliance with dress policy.
