Tomorrow, 1/17 is a $1 Buy Out.
All Peoria Public Schools District 150 students are required to wear uniforms to school. Below are examples of what students can/cannot wear at Harold B. Dawson Middle School. The specific uniform policy can be found on pg. 3-4 of our Student Handbook: https://core-docs.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/documents/asset/uploaded_file/3309/HBDMS/4575791/_2024-25_Booklet_Harold_B._Dawson__1_.pdf
If a student comes to school out of uniform, they will need to call home for a change of clothes or borrow an item from our inventory. Because we are loaning out so many items every day, we are running low on resources, especially pants. If you have any uniform items that your children have out-grown, please consider donating them to our school.
