If a student is not in complete uniform, or is breaking uniform policy, the following steps will be taken:
First offense—verbal warning/point deducted on class dojo
Second offense—first uniform notice goes home for parent signature
Third offense—second uniform notice goes home for parent signature
Fourth offense—phone call home

To support a focused learning environment and promote age-appropriate expectations, students are not permitted to wear makeup during the school day or at school-sponsored activities unless specifically approved by school administration for special events or performances.

Free Dress
Students should dress in an appropriate manner for a school day. Even though they are not in uniform, students should dress in more professional attire than they wear while playing on the weekend. In order to maintain an atmosphere of learning, the following regulations should be considered.
Pants should fit well and be in good condition - no rips or large holes
Shirts should fit well and have no objectionable messages on them.
Skirts and dresses should be of an appropriate length, even with a backpack on.
Makeup, nail polish, and jewelry are not allowed as they are distracting and contribute to an atmosphere of peer pressure.
Sagging shorts and pants, long belts, hats and tank tops are not allowed.
Tops for girls should cover from waist to shoulders, including one’s back.
No sandals, flip-flops, or slip-on (Crocs) shoes should be worn.
Since it is impossible to anticipate every infraction, these guidelines will be enforced at the discretion of the school staff. Students will be asked to call parents to bring a change of clothing in the event of free dress infraction. Please understand that proper attire is essential in establishing a professional learning atmosphere. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
