Effective Aug. 27, all students enrolled in physical education classes are required to dress in the PE uniform. Uniforms can be purchased at the school. The cost of the uniform is $25 per pair (shirt – $12 and shorts $13).
The use of electronic devices, which includes cell phones, I-pods and beepers are not allowed on campus. "The dress code will be strictly enforced. Violations of the policy in part, or in its entirety will result in dismissal from classes until the appropriate adjustment is made. It is recognized that not all situations and conditions can possibly be covered by a dress code. Therefore, the administration reserves the right to determine the appropriateness of any item of school dress," said Vialet.
