How Late Are You?

If the answer is "Not at all," you're golden. If the answer is anything more than 5 minutes, you've got a new problem. The school opens at 8:30 and the first period starts at 8:45. Remember, early is on time, on time is late and late is unacceptable.

Uniform Policy

Students must avoid dress that distracts attention from the pursuit of knowledge, disrupts the educational process, or constitutes a threat to individual safety or safety of the group. Students are expected to maintain high standards of personal cleanliness and hygiene by making sure they are neither offensive to others nor a threat to the health of the school community. When a student's appearance is unacceptable, the student will be removed from class and required to change clothes. Exceptions must be approved in advance by an administrator. An administrator will make the final judgment on the appropriateness of student dress.
