Important Reminders
Dress Code Reminders
We have seen an increase of dress code violations recently, so we wanted to send a reminder on the expectations related to dress code. Consistent infractions will result in discipline consequences.
This is a reminder of the following:
- Leggings MUST be worn with a shirt that is appropriate length per the district dress code; ie hip length, below the waist.
- Shorts and skirts need to be appropriate length per the district dress code.
- Crop tops or midriff showing of any kind is not allowed.
- Pajama pants and house shoes are not allowed. Additionally, blankets are not to be carried around campus.
Although these are what the campus has observed the most, please ensure your student is adhering to ALL dress code guidelines as found online here:
Thank you for assisting as we end this school year with the same expectations that were instilled from the beginning of the school year.
