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.
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.

(loafers, casual dress, or athletic). Boots are permitted only as outerwear.
Sandals, flip flops, and slippers are not permitted.
All skirts and dresses must be longer than the
student’s fingertips when the student’s arms hang at the sides or no more than
three inches above the knees.
