Dress Code
The purpose of the dress code is to communicate to students and parents what is and is not considered appropriate in order to reduce missed class time when students have to change their clothing. Any clothing deemed inappropriate or disruptive by the school administrators will not be tolerated. If you are unsure, don’t wear it!

- Makeup or dyed hair that becomes distracting to the learning process
- No body writing or writing on clothes that becomes disruptive
