DRESS CODE
We believe a scholar’s behavior and attitude are related to his or her appearance. We want scholars to attend school and focus on academics and scholarly behavior and not focus on what brand of clothing they are wearing. Therefore, we implement a dress code policy for all scholars. It is our desire to foster good grooming and good judgment as well as make all of our scholars feel that they are as equally important to our staff and to their peers. Scholars should follow the dress code each and every day unless otherwise informed. If a scholar is not following the dress code parent/guardian will be notified and asked to bring the appropriate clothing to school.
- SHOES: Shoes may be athletic shoes, or standard oxford casual or dress shoes. They need to be full covering, flat shoes. Steel-toed, open-toed, open-heeled, or shoes with any type of heel are not permitted.

- BELTS: Belts are optional. Plain colors without designs, words, and have simple buckles are permitted. The tail of the belt needs to be feed through belt loops to ensure they are not hanging.
