Student Dress Code
The dress code policy is
mandatory for all students. Student dress and personal grooming are primarily
the responsibility of the student and parents.
Students are expected to come to school clean, neat and appropriately
attired. Students whose personal attire
or grooming distracts the attention of other students or teachers from
schoolwork will be required to make necessary alterations. Our intention is to create and foster a safe,
orderly academic setting in which students can concentrate on their educational
endeavors with minimal distractions.
Parental support is vital to achieving this goal. Teachers/or designees will determine what
attire is unacceptable. When a student
is out of dress code, parents will be contacted to provide a change of clothes
before the student may return to class.
Guidelines for appropriate dress are as follows:
·
Any MOMI
school event/logo shirts may be worn.

garment or object with obscene, offensive, or intimidating language, drug,
tobacco, or firearms or alcoholic beverage advertisements may not be worn.

halter-tops, or undergarments (such as boxers) as outer garments. Under garments should not be visible. This includes spaghetti strapped tops,
