James Ryder Randall continues to be a Mandatory Uniform School. The Mandatory School Uniform Policy is one that requires students to wear the adopted system-wide uniform.  It is required that your child wears this uniform to school each day.  Parents will be notified when students are not properly attired.  Students are dressed appropriately when:

  • Shirts are worn tucked into the pants with belts showing.
  • Colored shirts are not showing under the uniform shirts.
  • Skirts, dresses and shorts comply with the Prince George’s County fingertip policy.

Parent(s) or guardian(s) who disagree with the adopted mandatory school uniform policy may opt-out of participation in this new requirement for the duration of this policy at the school.  A student whose parents have exercised their rights to opt-out of this uniform policy will be reassigned to another school.  Please see that your child conforms each day.
