Kindergarten – Eighth Grade Dress Code
The dress code is intended to name attire
which students are allowed to wear and not intended to be an exhaustive list of items that are not allowed. Such a listing
would be impossible as various clothing trends and fads arise. Parents are expected to be the prime enforcers of the
dress code by assuring their children are in compliance with the dress code upon arrival at school. The school administration
will have final discretion on what is appropriate or not for school wear.
2008-2009: First year phase out (Current
dress code allowed, new dress code allowed)
New plaid to be sold, old plaid will not be sold.
