Uniform and Dress Code

 

Goodwin University Magnet School Systems uniform is focused on creating a learning environment for all scholars. Riverside Magnet School’s uniforms promote a greater sense of community, school pride and respect among scholars. At Riverside Magnet School at Goodwin University, we choose to create a caring and positive learning community by taking care of ourselves, each other, and the environment.
