Policies
Dress Code
Appropriate and modest attire is expected at school. It is recognized that the school shares with parents a responsibility for teaching young people the appropriateness of dress. It is our belief that clothing contributes to attitudes and behavior; therefore, we expect:
- Students to come to school dressed for learning.
- Undergarments should not be showing under any circumstances. If clothing is not worn correctly, it must be corrected or parents will be contacted.
- No article of clothing should carry slogans that are in “poor taste”. This would include wording that is suggestive, violent, or vulgar in nature or that which reflects drugs or alcohol.
- Gang-related clothing or modes of dress are not permitted. No attire may be worn that does or is perceived to create a hostile learning environment.
- Students should wear shoes that are appropriate for physical education.
The school administration reserves the right to individually forbid a student from wearing any attire, logos, symbols, or insignias including excessive clothing color, that is determined to create a hostile environment or distracts from learning.
As fashion trends change, the dress code policy is subject to revision. Policy changes will be shared through school communication methods to staff, students, and parents.
Cell Phones
Once students enter campus, phones need to be secured in backpacks and turned off during the school day, or checked in with the classroom teacher. Students may come to the office to use the phone if they need to place a call. Students may use their phones outside the classroom after school is dismissed. The school is not responsible for phones that are stolen, lost, or damaged. If a student has a phone out during the day it will be confiscated and brought to the office to be retrieved at the end of the day.
