Dress Code

Students, teachers, and staff are expected to dress in a manner that demonstrates they respect themselves and the learning environment.  Clothing should be neat, clean, and appropriate for learning and weather conditions.  It should not draw inappropriate attention to the wearer, nor disrupt the learning environment.  If clothing or behavior is distracting to teachers or students, such clothing or behavior is unacceptable.  Staff will determine when an individual student is in violation of the dress code.  Parents may be called to bring the student a suitable change of clothing.  Parents are also expected to observe the dress code whenever they are in the building or participating in an student activity.

The following would be considered in violation of the dress code:

• Garments that are low enough to reveal a student's underwear
