Infractions
The school’s administration does expect that the parents/guardians will assist in properly outfitting the student for school in accordance with the stated dress code.
For the student that comes to school out of dress code, a dress code violation form will be completed, submitted to the administrator, and sent home to the parents via the student. The form must be returned with a parent signature to ensure the parent is aware of the infraction.
Three violations within one 10-week marking period will result in assigned detention.
Four violations in a semester may result in the student being assigned a suspension.
Blatant and/or immodest dress code violations will be cause for the student to be denied entrance to class.
The administrator is the interpreter of the dress code for the school's Board of Education.
