Dress Code
Please ensure that all learners are following the dress code as outlined in the student success manual.
To highlight some of our biggest areas of struggle:
- Students may not wear hoods, hats, or bandanas in the building.
- Jeans may not have holes, rips, or tears above the knee with visible skin.
- Shorts and skirts may not be shorter than three inches above the knee.
Learners found to be in violation of our dress code will need to wait in the ISS room until the violation is able to be fixed.
School Bus:
Please encourage your student to be on their best behavior on the bus. Our drivers want to ensure a safe and reliable ride to and from school for all students. Please encourage your student to maintain appropriate volume, stay seated, and be respectful to those around them while riding the bus.
More information about transportation can be found here.
