intimidation, or undue pressure or disrupts
the educational process.

Questions?

If a student has any questions
whether specific attire or accessories
are in compliance with dress code
they must contact an administrator
prior to wearing such attire or
accessories to ensure compliance.
Carrying a sweater with
you or rolling your shorts
down after you are caught
does not excuse you from
consequences.

e final discretion to determine that
the garment or accessory meets the
dress code.

uniforms, formal attire, and/or
costumes.

or Out-of-School suspension.

or accessory and replace it with an appropriate
