Dress Code

The responsibility for student dress and grooming rests primarily with the students and their parents. It is the school’s responsibility to maintain and enforce a dress code that is both safe and presents a positive image to the school and community. Administration will determine what is appropriate for the school. Violations of the student dress code may incur changing or forfeiting of the inappropriate item, parental contact or disciplinary action. For reasons of spirit or student morale, modifications may be made on special days by the Administration.

GENERAL INFORMATION DRESS CODE:

Students shall appear in school and at school sponsored activities in dress that is clean, in good taste, and in a manner that will not tend to disrupt the school activity nor create a condition that would be adverse to the safety and health of the students. Student dress may be regulated if the administration deems said attire to be bizarre, offensive, disruptive or distracting to the educational process. After parent contact students may be sent home if a change of clothes is not available. Violations of these standards and guidelines shall be handled by the building principal and his/her designee who shall determine appropriate actions to be taken.

The following guidelines shall constitute the student dress code.

  1. Students shall, at all times, wear some kind of shoes and/or sandals.
