DRESS AND APPEARANCE (DAYSIDE AND NIGHT SCHOOL STUDENTS)

This dress code is adopted in the interest of developing and maintaining a student body that is neat and clean. When

violations occur, the principal/designee will inform the student of the violation and instruct him/her how to correct the problem. If the student then fails to conform, the principal/designee will schedule a conference with the parent/guardian to review the written policy and the disciplinary action imposed.
