Dress-Down Fridays:

Students should dress appropriately. Clothing should not be a distraction to the learning environment and should be comfortable for all school activities. The education of students is our highest priority and student clothing should not serve as a hindrance to that purpose. The school reserves the right to address new fashions not mentioned in this document as they become available to student consumers. Fashions must be appropriate for a minor aged, educational setting.

  • Clothing must cover all undergarments and the midriff
  • Logos or garments that promote or advertise alcohol, drugs, tobacco, gang affiliation, nudity, profanity, violence, and/or contain inappropriate saying/pictures are not allowed and may be confiscated
