Dress Down Days

Growth & Fit Considerations

Special dress-down days will be announced through Class Dojo, School Messenger, and teacher communication. On these days, clothing must remain school-appropriate. No midriffs, inappropriate language/images, or torn clothes. Please purchase uniforms with room to grow. Female students may also need appropriate undergarments as their bodies develop.
