Dress Code
The
spirit of the dress code suggests a certain level of formality during the
academic day and at designated school functions. It is expected that students
will dress in a neat, clean, and presentable manner at all times.
A
dress code is to teach students that there is a time and a place for different
attire. This is your child’s first
“work” environment and we want to instill in them the idea of proper
“work” attire. The dress code is
intended to eliminate the distraction of fads and fashion.
