School Appearance Policy
FSK is a "Uniform" School

School Uniform PolicySchool Appearance Code

Francis Scott Key has adopted a uniform policy. Data show that when students wear uniforms, they are more focused and there are less disciplinary problems in school. It is requested that students wear khaki pants, skirts or jumpers, with a white, gray or burgundy shirt. Please help your child and our school by supporting our uniform policy. Students who wear their uniform regularly will be rewarded periodically with incentives such as extra privileges and trips.

Please Note: FSK has a Uniform Bank. Please call the school if your child needs a uniform, or if you would like to donate uniform items. 410-396-1503
