Parents have the responsibility of making sure their children are appropriately dressed each day (according to the school's dress code) so that it is not necessary for the administration to ask parents for a change of clothing during the school day. Clothing must be clean and in good condition. Children arriving at school not in uniform will be sent to the office to call their parents to bring a change of clothes. No hair dyes are allowed.
