In order to provide a safe and orderly atmosphere for teaching and learning, this code of behavior is required of every student in our school.
- Students are expected to arrive on time and to enter and leave the school building in an orderly and responsible manner.
- Students must show their ID card upon entering the school building in the morning.

You may not wear short skirts, short shorts, pants that are suggestive, tank tops, halters, shoulder-less stretch tops or see-through jerseys, and shirts must cover the stomach all the time.
