The purpose of the ASTEC Schools' Uniform Policy is to encourage and support the learning environment of our school and to develop responsible scholars. The ASTEC Board of Directors, administration, and faculty reserves the right to make good faith interpretations of this policy and to address and resolve any issues that may not be specifically listed. The uniform is a dressy-casual, TAILORED look. Scholars and teacher are highly encouraged to wear masks while in the presence of others. Decisions will be made with this standard and intent in mind.
Please Note: Scholars unable to procure uniforms (in whole or in part) should contact a school secretary, the Headmaster, or a trusted faculty member.
