Some Important Considerations:

 Articles of clothing with inappropriate logos, sayings, and pictures are not acceptable at school.

 Overly revealing clothing (e.g. halter tops, string straps, cut-off shorts, etc.) is not to be worn at school. No bare midriffs or see-through shirts are to be worn at school. Undergarments should not be visible.

 Shorts and skirts must extend to the end of the finger tips, or mid-thigh, when the student is standing.

 Students are expected to have safe and appropriate footwear at school at all times.

 

Students who dress inappropriately will be advised and may be asked to change their clothing. If necessary, a parent will be called to arrange a change of clothing.
