Parent Reminder: Dress Code & Behavior Expectations

As we approach the last day of school, please remember that the dress code remains the same as every other school day. This includes:

No hats

No pajama pants

Shorts and skirts must be mid-thigh length

All other regular dress code guidelines apply

(Please see the graphics for additional details.)

Behavior expectations also remain the same as a normal school day.

The good news is that students can still have a fun, exciting, and memorable last day while staying within dress code expectations!

Please note: If a student arrives out of dress code or there are significant behavior concerns, parents/guardians may be contacted to pick up their student for the remainder of the day. Students will wait in the front office until they are picked up.

If you have any questions, please contact an administrator.
