General points to be considered are:

  1. It is the parent’s responsibility to check student for complete and/or proper uniform before dropping them off at school.
  2. Students not complying with the dress code will be asked to contact their parents to have them bring the proper clothing to school and/or receive a uniform reminder slip and/or a conduct slip.
  3. It is expected that all students be in a complete, appropriately worn uniform daily beginning on the first day of school.
  4. The dress code applies to arrival and departure from school, unless the student is engaged in special school activities, authorized by the Principal, which demand a change of clothes.
  5. All clothing should be of proper fit, clean and neat at all times.
  6. Hair length/style/color must be appropriate. No out of the ordinary hair cuts or hair colors will be tolerated. Hair length needs to be maintained by a neat cut, no bangs with hair in eyes, no boys hair below the collar line in the back or below the ear line in front.
  7. If any student must be out of uniform for any reason, a note from the parent must be presented to the student’s homeroom teacher or office before school on that day to obtain a uniform pass for the day.
  8. No dress code can possibly cover all eventualities or possibilities. The Principal will ultimately decide what is acceptable and what is not acceptable
