The mission of Valdosta City Schools is quality teaching and learning, resulting in superior performance for all. Students in our district are expected to dress in a manner that is supportive of a positive learning environment that is free of distractions and disruptions. There is a direct correlation between student dress and behavior. Students who come to school dressed appropriately behave appropriately. Our kindergarten through fifth grade students will be expected to observe the uniform dress policy that supports our vision to pursue infinite possibilities for their future.
