Dress Code

Outerwear that doesn't match dress code is on the rise.

Campus administration will begin to redirect and assign discipline for students not within dress code.

What does this mean? Students will receive a verbal warning the first time and a lunch detention for subsequent violations.

Focus: Outerwear

What is outerwear? Sweatshirts and jackets worn during the school day in the classroom

What's okay?

Solid school colors (Red, Black, White, Gray, or Navy)
Worn over a uniform top
Logo, if any, is smaller than the size of the palm of your hand

What's not okay?

Large logos
Multi colors/non school colors
Hoods worn inside building

Please support us by encouraging your students to refrain from wearing outerwear that does not meet dress code.
