<h2>Dress &amp; Appearance for Students</h2>
<h2>Students who are dressed appropriately may participate in all school functions. Please use modesty and common sense when dressing your child.  The principal has final determination of appropriateness of all clothing.  If a student’s dress is deemed inappropriate, the student will be expected to change.  If appropriate clothing is not available at school, parents will be contacted to bring appropriate clothing to school.  Multiple infractions may require a parent-principal conference.  All clothing items need to be purchased from Lands’ End Uniform Catalog or Wal-Mart’s George Uniform Collection, unless otherwise noted.  Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts are allowed to wear those uniforms on meeting days.</h2>
