School Uniform

Uniform

 

With the understanding that a student's behavior is influenced by the way the student is dressed and with the understanding that no student should dress in a manner that is disruptive or has an adverse effect on school activities, the following mandatory uniform standards for student attire have been developed. Students are expected to dress in the school uniform during the school day and during school-related activities. The school principal/site administrator will make the final determination of whether a student's attire or appearance conflicts with these standards. The school will loan uniforms to students from the school uniform closet when necessary. Students in violation of the dress code regulations will be administered appropriate consequences for dress code violations.

All students (except those deemed exempt) must adhere to the following dress code.
 

Tops

Tops must be solid black, white, or hot pink​​ and may be polo-style shirts, collared blouses or turtlenecks.
