Since student attire trends change, the previous lists will be updated and communicated as needed in order to ensure an
appropriate and safe school setting.
Decisions regarding the appropriateness of clothing will be handled by the principal. In the event there is a concern
regarding clothes or appearance, parents may call the school or the school will contact the parents.
Please check with your school principal prior to purchasing a new “trend” article that could be in conflict with their standard
dress codes. |
