• No student should have to perform any action that would prove a dress code violation. Dress code violations must be clearly visible.
• Families (students and parents/guardians) should be notified of the dress code annually, or whenever the dress code is revised, including the consequences for violating the dress code. Consequences may never exceed those guidelines and must be enforced in a consistent manner.
• Students in TK-5 will not be presented the dress code at schools due to their age range.

If students violate the dress code:

• No student should have to perform any action that would prove a dress code violation. Dress code violations must be clearly visible.
• Any loss of class time shall be kept to a minimum.
• If students do not have alternate clothing with them, they cannot be forced to wear clothing that is not theirs and must be provided the option to instead have parents/guardians called to bring alternative clothing.
• No student shall be shamed for a violation of the dress code.

**For a dress code to be effective parents and students must attend to students’ clothing before she or he leaves for school in the morning. As such, we expect and appreciate your cooperation in this regard.
