Appropriate dress and grooming contribute to a productive learning environment. Student dress policy is intended to create a positive school climate of respect for self and others. Appropriate dress and appearance projects a positive image of seriousness and reflects respect for teaching and learning. Being mindful of one’s appearance is preparation for future school, work and career success.
