Spiritwear Policy
It is the policy of the Frank M. Silvia School that all students in Kindergarten to grade 5 will wear School Spiritwear. School Spiritwear is limited to the required clothing, as adopted by the Fall River School Committee in 2009.

Parental Responsibility
It is the responsibility of parents/guardians of students in Kindergarten through grade 5th grade at the Frank M. Silvia School to ensure that their child(ren) dress in accordance with the School Spiritwear. This will ensure a conducive learning environment for all students as well as discourage competition of various styles and brands. Uniformity for all students will cause less distractions, keep a focus on learning, and establish a safe environment at the Silvia School.
