HIGH SCHOOL DRESS REMINDERS
We are glad that our high school students get the opportunity to be uniform free during their high school years. However, there are some items of clothing that are not allowed:
- Tank Tops
- Hats or Hoods
- Crop Tops/Midriff
- Sleepwear
- Clothing that is revealing
- Clothing that is distracting to the school environment
What happens when a student is out of dress code?
When a student is out of dress code, they will first be given an opportunity to change if they happen to have the right clothes with them. If they don't, they will be sent to either the middle school or high school office. The student will be allowed to call a parent to bring them something or offered clothing from our uniform closet. Once the student is in uniform, they will go back to class. If the student does not get into uniform, they will be moved to the ISS room for the remainder of the day.
