REQUIRED DRESS STANDARD
Westlake School Uniform
Westlake Academy believes that appropriate dress and grooming contributes to a productive learning environment in which students can focus on learning, develop an awareness of others, develop character and good citizenship skills, instill respect and self-discipline. Student dress standards also promote a positive image of the school within the community and encourage students to uphold and enhance that image. Students must remain in the required uniform at all times while on campus.
