STUDENT ATTIRE - DRESS CODE

The Board of School Committee has adopted a dress policy for students that is reasonable, but that sets standards for grooming and appearance. PROPER ATTIRE is required of ALL students during each school day and at all school functions. PROPER ATTIRE is defined as clean clothing that is free of holes or tears, that appropriately covers the body, and that helps maintain a healthy and safe environment in school. Further, expecting students to practice good personal hygiene is part of this school dress policy.

Student Dress Code - Allowed & Not Allowed

Please note that it is the responsibility of the student and parent that the student follow the guidelines of this dress code. When questions arise regarding the interpretation of this policy, the administration shall make a determination regarding the appropriateness of student dress.
