"DRESS DAYS"

For special occasions, students will be granted "dress days". Students are expected to dress according to the theme of the day or wear their school uniform. The scheduling of these dress days will depend largely upon how students use this privilege. Dress days are not intended to be "dress down" days. Students are always expected to be good ambassadors of our school. If shorts are worn on dress days, they must be at least fingertip length. Participation in dress days is optional.
