Enforcement Policies

Students new to the campus will be informed of the dress policy at enrollment and given three weeks to comply with the policy.

Failure to correct the problem will be considered a disciplinary infraction. The parents will be contacted to inform them of the infraction. If it is determined that a student’s grooming violates the dress code, the student shall be given an opportunity to correct the problem at school. The parents will be asked to bring the appropriate clothing to the office. If the parent is unable to bring the appropriate clothing, the child may wear clothing from the nurse if available. If neither option is available, the child will be subjected to other discipline actions as outlined in the student code of conduct. Every effort will be made to communicate with the parents of violators to secure their support of the policy.

Assistance With Uniform Dress

Contact the school nurse if you need assistance with providing uniform dress for your child.
