DRESS CODE GUIDELINES 

Students in fundamental schools are expected to exercise good judgment and dress in a responsible manner. All clothing must be worn in the manner in which it was designed to be worn. All dress and grooming rules will be enforced. Students who come to school wearing inappropriate attire may be sent to the office to call a parent/guardian for acceptable clothing and will receive a Dress Code Violation. After the fourth violation letter, a Warning/Detention Notice will be given for each additional dress code violation thereafter.

We also expect parents to use good judgment when volunteering in and/or visiting the school, and dress in a manner consistent with the student dress code.

Any exception to the dress code policies must be approved by the school administration. Administration shall be the final judge as to the neatness and cleanliness of wearing apparel and whether or not such apparel is appropriate, disruptive, distracting, or in violation of health and safety rules.

Students are expected to dress appropriately to reflect pride in one’s self and school and to avoid social fads, and disruptions to the school learning environment.
