Dress Code

Dress Code

Our school community believes that a dress appearance code based on modesty, civility and health and safety sets a tone conducive to learning as well as being acceptable within the broader community, all within the discretion of the principal.  Students are expected to present themselves appropriately for a place of learning.  They are also expected to learn appearance and dress standards suitable at institutes of higher learning as well as in the work place.

1. Students will dress in an appropriate manner for school and school activities:

1. baseball caps/hats, bandanas (at the discretion of the teacher) hoods or other head coverings are not to be worn in school except for religious  or ethnic reasons and customs
