Dress Code: (For all students K-12)

The purpose of the code is to encourage students and staff to maintain a level of modesty and to foster an environment of learning, without causing an unnecessary financial burden on families.

The student’s attire will be evaluated each morning by their classroom teacher and if there is anything in question, the final determination will be made by the principal or designated staff. If you are not sure if an item conforms to the , the item should be brought to the office for a determination before it is worn. The dress code is in effect from the time students enter the building until the dismissal bell.
