If you order after the cut off date, you will have to pay shipping and handling.

The order should be sent to your home address if this occurs.

Returning students who have a clean uniform can use that uniform for the upcoming year. Those students have been told and know it must pass the “Ms. Wood” inspection in order to use it. If not, they will need to order new uniforms. NO EXCEPTIONS.

Additional Information:

Students are also required to have a 3-ring binder (1 inch ring or higher) to be used only for Culinary Arts.

This is needed on the first day of school.
