Dress Code Policy

Dress Code

It is our belief that the dress of students is one of the factors, which determines their general behavior and attitude. Student dress and grooming shall reflect appropriateness, cleanliness, and safety within the classroom and school activities. Student dress should not be extreme and it must not be in any significant way distracting to the educational activities of the school.  We believe our students should dress for success.

The following dress code is a guideline and is not intended to be an all-inclusive list.

    1. Student dress must represent a regard for hygienic care to body and clothes. Any clothing that creates a disruption to the learning environment, as noted by administration, will not be permitted.
    2. Hair may be worn as desired providing it does not create any safety concerns or classroom disturbances.
    3. There are to be no hats, visors or head coverings worn except for appropriate religious beliefs.  Headbands and scarves may only be worn to keep hair out of the eyes.  (See specific Hat Policy)
    4. Appropriate footwear must be worn at all times.  Footwear must promote personal safety, particularly in the shops and science labs.
