Dress Code Alert for Warmer Temperatures
As the weather is warming up, we are reminding our families....
- No bare midriffs will be permitted at any time.
- For safety reasons, shoes should have a back and should be properly worn (ex. flip flops are not acceptable)
- Physical education shoes must be fasted and rubber soled and clothing must allow for safe physical activity.
Please reach out to Ms. Rodano at rodanoa@harrisontwp.k12.nj.us if any clarifications are needed about the Dress and Grooming file code 5132 of the Board of Education Policy.
