Dress Code
A flexible and cost effective dress code has been established at our school to encourage academic success while reducing distractions and competition. Implementing a simple, flexible, cost effective dress code promotes student learning and increased academic instruction time.
The school administration reserves the right to the final approval of dress code attire.
General Expectations
- Shirts must be a short- or long-sleeved polo.
- Bottoms must be blue jeans, khakis pants, blue jean shorts, or khakis shorts.
- Middle school students may also wear a long or short sleeve white dress shirt with a tie.
- Conservative shoes, including loafer style, dress shoes, tennis shoes, or closed toed sandals must be worn. Shoes must be worn appropriately (i.e., laced and/or strapped all the way for safety purposes). Athletic shoes with non-marking soles are to be worn for P.E. class.
