Uniform and Dress Code

 

The Goodwin University Magnet School System 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 RMS, we choose to create a caring and positive learning community by taking care of ourselves, each other, and the environment. Acceptance of admission to RMS implies agreement to abide by our school’s dress code. 

The dress code for RMS requires scholars to wear school-approved shirts, pants, and shoes, and is mandatory for all scholars in grades K-5. The dress code is optional for pre-k scholars. Please note, the RMS logo is not required in the elementary grades. Dress down days will be on special occasions, and scholars will have the opportunity to wear jeans (without holes/rips), athletic wear, hoodies, etc.

Scholars and their families are encouraged to donate clean, gently used dress code items that are no longer wanted to the school. Such donations may be brought to the main office.
