Dress Code, 2006-2007

Our intent is to foster a neat student attire that will have a favorable impact on student attitudes and behavior while building self-esteem and school pride. It is the responsibility of each student, with the cooperation of the parent, to comply with the dress code. All attire should be clean and in good repair. The principals decision will be final in all matters pertaining to interpretation of the code.
