Dress Code

The wearing of the Alternative School uniform is a very important aspect of the school and the self-discipline of the student. It also demonstrates preparation for school and a positive attitude. If a student does not wear their uniform each day in an appropriate manner, it could result in expulsion. Students must remain in complete uniform until they are off school premises.

(Students are not allowed to remain at the school unless they are in a complete uniform. The students will call home and the missing item must be brought to the school If that is not possible, the student will be suspended the following day for a uniform violation.)

 

If a student must call home for part of their uniform, they will receive:

  • a warning on the 1st (first) offense
  • a deduction of 1 (one) point for 2nd (second) offense
  • 2 (two) points for 3rd (third) offense
  • a level for the 4th (fourth), 5th (fifth) and 6th (sixth) offense

The principal will have the right to take appropriate action to correct any student whose appearance, while not specifically covered by this policy is considered by said principal to be out of compliance with Board stated goal or to be disruptive of the educational process or sense of decency.
