As educators, we believe that school performance and future success are enhanced by appropriate dress and grooming.  Parents/guardians are strongly urged to work closely with the school to insure their child’s adherence to high standards of dress and grooming.  Parents will be serving the welfare of our students and helping the school by emphasizing standards of neatness, cleanliness, safety, and decency in dress and grooming.
