Students are encouraged to show pride in themselves by coming to school well groomed. Clothes should be appropriate for school activities, meaning they may not be educationally distracting or unsafe. Students are expected to show proper attention to cleanliness, health, neatness, safety, and appropriateness of clothing and appearance for school activities. A well-groomed appearance is important in developing a positive self-image and complements the school's instructional program.
