Dress Code

Parents: Please help us maintain the dress code. Your cooperation is appreciated. The dress code instills discipline and encourages your children to work toward the next level.

Note to current students: Please realize that you are the role models at rpm dance. The younger students are watching you. Let's set a good example for them.
