Dress Code

The student dress code aims to provide a learning environment that is safe, welcoming, and inclusive for all.

 

Student Dress Code Summary

  • Students should dress in a way that is respectful and appropriate for school or any school-related events. This applies to regular school days, summer school days, and school-related events such as graduation ceremonies, dances, and prom.
  • The goal is to create a welcoming environment for everyone regardless of their identity, background, race, gender, religion, or body type.
  • Adjustments to the dress code may be made on a case-by-case basis for a student’s IEP, 504 or social and emotional learning.
