Student Expectations

CITIZENSHIP GRADE STANDARDS 

Students have the right to learn, and teachers the right to teach. In order for us to work together on this goal, the Citizenship Matrix below is a general outline for student behavior and citizenship in the classroom. Students earn citizenship grades each semester, with progress reports each quarter.

We believe in giving students autonomy in expressing themselves through their choice in clothing, while still being respectful of others and maintaining a safe environment.  We ask that parents, students and staff partner to ensure student clothing meets the follow criteria:

  • No clothing with profanity
  • No clothing promoting violence
  • No clothing promoting alcohol, tobacco, drugs, or firearms
  • No clothing that includes crude, vulgar, profane, or explicit insignia or words
  • No clothing promoting racial, ethnic, or religious prejudice
  • Clothing must cover all private areas, undergarments and belly buttons at all times
  • Student faces and ears must be visible at all times, unless wearing a mask for health reasons
  • Shoes must have closed toes and closed backs or a back strap
  • No chains, spiked jewelry or belts, or other clothing that may pose a threat to physical safety

 

Students choosing not to adhere to these guidelines will have the option to change into suitable clothing or borrow loaner clothing. Inappropriate attire will be held in the office until the end of the school day.  

 

Physical Education Dress Policy - Students are expected to dress out for PE in the uniform purchased at registration and must wear tennis shoes suitable for physical activity.
