As the weather starts to get warmer, please remember to review the dress code with your student. From page 23 of the 2024-2025 Student Handbook:

Students are Not Permitted to Wear:

• Articles of clothing that promote drugs, alcohol, profanity, obscenity, violence, and symbols of hate;

• Articles of clothing that promote gang colors, gang affiliation, gang initiation, or gang-related signs;

• Clothing that shows bare skin between the upper chest and mid-thigh, including bare chest, back, or midriff, or underwear.

Students are to dress in clothes that promote a safe and respectful learning environment. Clothes that create a disruptive environment or cause a health or safety hazard, are not appropriate and not acceptable at school. School personnel will consistently and uniformly enforce this dress code.

School counselors share many resources with students. Students also learn about emergency/crisis resources during their marking period of Health each school year. We wanted to take a moment to share these resources with parents/guardians so that you have them as well. Please click on the button below for these resources.

The resources in this link are intended for families looking to get more information related to immigration issues. These resources will be updated as new information becomes available.
