Dress Code Guidance
|
|
The purpose of this guidance is to provide information to our families about the dress code expectations during the regular school day. All students are expected to take pride in their appearance with dress and grooming that contribute to the health and safety of the individual, without disrupting the educational process. This guidance is in effect during each instructional day unless otherwise indicated by the district or school administrators. It is also in effect for all academic activities outside of the school day when students are representing the school.
