dress code
School is a place of serious business – the business of education.
Therefore, students are asked to dress in a manner that reflects a respectful attitude toward learning. Parents and students are asked to cooperate in implementing a dress code designed to prevent dress and appearance from distracting in any way from the educational process. I have handed out several shirts lately as girls (all ages) are wearing shirts with their belly showing or shirts with spaghetti straps. Please be sure to review the Dress Code with your child and monitor what they wear to school. We would greatly appreciate it. learn what jeffco Boe is planning
