African print dashikis can to be purchased at Imhotep Charter School. Students can purchase dashikis from other vendors; however, the school administration will determine whether the dashiki is African print.  If the school administration considers the dashiki not African print, the student will be considered out of dress code.  The uniform must be worn appropriately:

 

• Pants must be pulled to the waist and belted
• For warmth, solid colored shirts or turtlenecks may be worn underneath the dashiki
