The following apparel WILL NOT be permitted:

If the principal determines that a student’s grooming or clothing violates the school’s dress code, the student will be sent to the office to call their parent/guardian. If the parent/guardian cannot be reached, the student will be given the opportunity to correct the problem by finding appropriate apparel in the extra clothing available at the school. If not corrected, the student may be assigned to in-school suspension for the remainder of the day, until the problem is corrected, or until a parent or designee brings an acceptable change of clothing to the school. Repeated offenses may result in more serious disciplinary action in accordance with the Student Code of Conduct. The Principal’s discretion is final.
