ELEMENTARY DRESS CODE

Please remember that our school is often judged by the appearance of our students. Clothing should be clean and neat. No frayed, cut-off, or torn clothing will be allowed. Clothing with objectionable writing or pictures will not be allowed. Teachers will inform students or parents if their attire is inappropriate.
