If the principal or assistant principal determines a student’s grooming or clothing violates the school’s dress code, the student will be given an opportunity to correct the problem at school by utilizing the campus stock of extra uniform clothing and belts. If not corrected, the student may be assigned to ISS (in school suspension) for the remainder of the day or until a parent or designee brings an acceptable change of clothing to the school. Repeated offenses may result in more serious disciplinary action in accordance with the Student Code of conduct. Dress code checks will be done regularly by administration, staff, security, and teachers.
