After a majority vote, Capitol Heights E.S. adopted a Mandatory School Dress Code Policy, which started on the first day of school in August 2002. As a result of this action, all students are expected to comply with this dress code during school and school-related activities.*
In an effort to be certain that all students and parents are aware of this dress code, our school wants to share it with you. Please review the following Student Dress Code carefully with your child/children to assure that they too are aware of its contents.
