DRESS CODE GUIDELINES

 Students are expected to dress appropriately to reflect pride in one’s self and school. Students violating the dress code will be sent to the office to call their parents/guardians and request a change of clothing. The student may be issued an infraction notice for violation of the dress code policy. Repeated violations may result in a referral to the schools’ Intervention and Appeal Committee. Any exception to the dress code policies must be approved by the school administration. The principal shall have the final decision regarding the enforcement of the student dress code.

We also expect parents to use good judgment in their attire while volunteering in the building. All students’ clothing must be worn in the manner in which it was designed to be worn; pants and skirts must be worn at waist level. Student dress and grooming shall be neat and clean. Prohibited are hairstyles and colors, and other fashion styles, which are disruptive to the school environment or educational process.
