Kids love learning at COMMUNITY Charter School!

Students Wear Uniforms at
COMMUNITY Charter School

COMMUNITY Charter School enforces a strict Uniform Dress Policy, which is actually less expensive for parents. Uniforms also reduce distractions for students, helping them remain focused throughout the day.

Our Uniform Dress Policy is outlined below. Every student is required to follow it - no exceptions. If you need assistance with obtaining any clothing, please contact the Family Resource Center or the Main Office at the school at 716-833-5967.
