Dress Code
Please make sure your child dresses in a professional, socially acceptable manner.  Please do not buy your child sagging pants, skin-tight leggings, short shorts or tiny tank tops to wear to school as it truly distracts our hormonal youths from focusing on education.  Help our students stay focused!
