School Calendar
Dress Code
"Notice to Parents and Students If a student arrives at school out of uniform or is groomed inappropriately, the student’s parent(s) will be called to bring a change of clothes. The student will not be allowed to attend class until he or she is appropriately dressed. Any class time missed will be counted as an unexcused absence. The school reserves the right to determine and restrict unbecoming styles. Violations of the school’s uniform policy and grooming standards will result in incremental disciplinary action. Uniforms with torn pants or shirts with holes are not allowed. All damaged uniform items should be replaced."
