15. Important Reminder for Students
Students, the following items must be left in your locker at the beginning of each school day:
• Backpacks
• Skateboards/scooters
• Head attire (head attire for religious purposes is permitted)
Also, during the school day you are required to follow a fairly simple dress code. The idea is
that, for the six hours of the school day, you respect each other and the staff members by
dressing appropriately for learning. The following items are not allowed:
• Sagging pants
• Spaghetti straps or exposed bra straps
• Shirts that expose the midriff or cleavage
• Shorts and skirts (with or without leggings) shorter than your fingertips when your arms are
down
• Sunglasses (inside the building)
If you cannot abide by these rules, you will be asked to change your clothes or you will be sent
home. Students – dress for success!
