Modified Uniform Dress Codes

Students will be permitted to participate in religious expression to the limit currently permitted.

Administrative Prerogative: The Administration reserves the right to address uniform issues that present themselves as a distraction to the students or the educational process. A parent who objects, on behalf of their student, to the school uniform because of his or her religion, religious belief or because of a medical condition must obtain a copy of the policy dress code, submit a request for exemption in writing. The principal will review the written request for exemption and will accept or deny the request. During the course of the school year the administration reserves the right to amend said dress code and will notify all constituents of amendments in writing.
