  • Regular dress code attire is required for all field trips unless otherwise noted.

  • Body art and tattoos (real or fake) are not permitted.

  • Students may be asked to remove earrings, necklaces, bracelets, other jewelry, or any other items that become a distraction in the classroom. If students are asked to remove these items, they must give them to their teacher, who will turn the items in to the office. Parents must come to the school to pick up the items at their convenience.

Consequences

Students not in compliance with the dress code will be asked to (1) correct the violation in the classroom, or (2) they will be sent to the Family Resource Center (FRC) to correct the violation. If the violation cannot be corrected in the FRC, parents will be notified of the violation. Repeated dress code violations will require a parent conference with an office administrator or designee. Any dress code concerns that fall outside of the scope of the School-Based Decision Making (SBDM) Council-approved dress code will be handled on an individual basis by school administrators.
