Dress and Grooming
Rosemary Kennedy encourages a School Uniform Policy as it has proven to maintain a climate of high standards, school spirit, and an atmosphere of excellence at our school. Parents who choose not to have their child comply with the school wide uniform policy are required to adhere to Board Policy 5132 regarding dress code, grooming, and gang violence.
