STUDENT DRESS CODE

PURPOSE : To specify student dress/grooming requirements.

A student's style of dress and/or grooming may reflect individual preference; however, such preferences must be selected within the constraints of reasonable rules and appropriate standards that are consistent with the maintenance of an effective learning atmosphere and good personal hygiene. The School expects each student's attire and grooming to promote a positive, safe and healthy environment within the school.

Although it is recognized that individual students have a right to free expression, that right must be balanced with the School's responsibility to provide a safe, secure and orderly educational environment for all students.

The School solicits the support of parents/guardians in the enforcement of its dress code.
