Dress Code
A dress code was established "to promote an atmosphere of dignity and respect." The code is reviewed by the administrator and School Committee. The administrator is the final arbiter in determining the appropriateness of attire and will resolve any questions concerning dress code, violations and consequences.

Grooming and dress will reflect a serious academic environment with standards that eliminate competition in style and fads.

Teachers will enforce the dress code and will send home notices of infractions.  It is expected that parents will follow through after the infraction notice is sent home and eliminate the clothing from school use, except on out of dress code days, if appropriate.

PLEASE READ THROUGH THE REGULATIONS AND SHOP ACCORDINGLY
