Uniform violations such as wrong shirt, or wrong pants are to be handled by the first and second period teacher who will send the student to the office. Administration will make the final discipline determination. Administration will try to call parents to bring a change of clothes.
We do not expect problems with the Uniform Dress Code Policy if students follow the Dress Code Policy. All students are expected to comply with the dress code rules at all times! Students that violate the Dress Code Policy will be placed in ISS (IN School Suspension) until a parent is contacted to bring a change of clothes. If a parent cannot bring the change of clothes the student will remain in ISS for the remainder of the day. When we cannot reach students parent the student will remain in ISS for the remainder of the day. New students are given two weeks to be in school uniform.
