To enable students to reach high academic standards, we've put in place a dress code designed to reduce distractions and competitions. Implementing a simple, flexible, cost-effective dress code promotes student learning and increased academic instruction time.
Personal Hygiene
The personal grooming of students should be in accord with the standards set by the uniform dress code. Students should be clean and neat when at school. Children and Family Services will be informed when students show signs of neglect or abuse or habitually have lice or show signs of lice activity. School personnel conduct lice inspections of all students following each major school break.
