Hutchinson Dress Code

Below is the dress code that was shared with all students during our Expectations Assembly. Please take a moment to review it with your student.

If your student is unsure whether an outfit may violate the dress code, please encourage them to speak with a teacher, an administrator (Mr. Arredondo or Mrs. Garcia), a supervision aide, or a member of the front office staff.
