DRESS CODE All educators agree that there is a direct correlation between the way children dress and their conduct and manners. We, therefore, insist that our students show good taste in their appearance and are neat and clean at all times. Boys and girls from grades K-8 are required to wear the school uniform or abide by the dress code from the first day of school in September until the last day of June. Personal Appearance - Children should take personal pride in their appearance. Uniforms should be clean and in good repair. We will work with parents in promoting good habits of personal hygiene emphasizing especially neat and clean hair, hands, and fingernails.
- This dress code will be strictly enforced at all levels
. Boys and girls should be in their proper uniforms at all times. We ask that parents closely monitor their children's dress. On occasion, we will have "dress-up" or " casual dress" days, when it will not be necessary for the students to be in uniform. We expect, however, that they will be dressed appropriately and in good taste. These days will be noted on the monthly calendar or by a special notice. Jeans may be worn on these days. However, they must fit appropriately and may not have holes. Grooming Code - ALL APPAREL SHOULD BE NEAT, CLEAN, AND IN GOOD CONDITION.
- Bodily grooming should be apparent by cleanliness and neatly cut and combed hair.
