Dress Code

Students are expected to dress in accordance with good taste and personal pride. Dress is important to a positive teaching and learning environment. Students are to dress in a manner that will not distract, disrupt, or be hazardous to their safety and well being. The majority of our students need no advice on their dress or appearance because they use common sense. However, it is occasionally necessary to notify students that their clothing or appearance is causing a disturbance or is a distraction to teachers and other students in the school. Decency, good taste, and the normal standards of the community are to be maintained in dress and grooming by all students. Any dress that is considered contrary to good hygiene, distractive, or disruptive in appearance, or detrimental to the educational environment or the public image of the school will not be permitted. The following dress code standards apply at the Alaqsite'w Gitpu School:
