*All clothing must be sized to fit properly.

It is the parents’/guardians’ responsibility to make sure that their children come to school properly dressed. Appropriate dress should be worn at all times. Students’ clothing (uniforms/dress) should be considered in good taste, neat, clean, and free from damage or “fashion created” holes. All clothing must be sized to fit properly. When the students are on a field trip representing the school, they should be dressed in their school uniform unless otherwise instructed.

Other than designated special days, jeans may not be worn when a student is unable to be in uniform. Students must wear the full uniform to be “in the dress code.” If, for some serious reason, a student is prevented from being “in code,” a written excuse from the parent/guardian explaining the compelling reason is required.
