School is your child's workplace. We request that all students dress appropriately. We ask that students do not wear spaghetti-strap shirts, belly shirts, halter shirts, crop tops, or clothing with slogan promoting alcohol, tobacco, drugs, sex, or violence. Dresses, skirts and shorts must be fingertip length.
