School Attire

The purpose of this dress code is to ensure that all students dress appropriately for school and school activities. It is not designed to inhibit an individual student’s right to be creative, but to help students appreciate that what may be acceptable for one situation may not be acceptable for another situation. The purpose of the policy is to ensure that students’ clothing reflects the seriousness of the school’s mission and does not interfere with the learning environment.
