      “IF IT SHOWS ... IT GOES”

Esta página en Español

It is our belief that a well dressed student not only behaves better, but is more likely to perform better academically.  A clear list of our expectations is listed within the handbook, but our philosophy is also clear.  Students who dress for school are clearly focused on their education.  From the moment they begin to dress they realize that it is a school day and the day has a purpose.  We take great pride in how our students dress and know you will support us.

If dress code violations occur, parents will be notified and asked to bring a change of clothes to school.  If parents cannot bring a change of clothes, a student will be placed In -School Suspension for the remainder of the day.
