Renbrook's Dress Code for Grades 1-8
Renbrook studentsā dress should reflect the reverence we hold for teaching and learning. As members of the Renbrook community, each student and their family are responsible for following both the rules and the spirit of the dress code. There is no formal dress code for students in the Beginning School (Preschool, Junior Kindergarten, and Kindergarten).
