 Final decision on the appropriateness of school dress rests with the campus administration.  If campus administration determines that a student’s grooming violates dress code, the student shall be given the opportunity to correct the problem at school.  If not corrected, the student shall be assigned to off-campus suspension for the remainder of the day.  New students will have one week to dress in compliance with the dress code.
